Learning the Polish Adjectives is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you master it the more you get closer to mastering the Polish language. But first we need to know what the role of Adjectives is in the structure of the grammar in Polish.
Polish Adjectives are words that describe or modify another person or thing in the sentence.
While in English an adjective doesn’t change when the noun changes, in Polish an adjective should agree in gender, number and case with the noun. For example:
a) Masculine to feminine example:
To jest mój mały syn (this is my little son) becomes: To jest moja mała córka (this is my little daughter)
As you can see from the example above, the adjective comes after the noun and also takes the feminine form.
b) Singular to plural example:
To jest mój biały kot (this is my white cat) becomes: To są moje białe koty (these are my white cats).
As you can see from the example above, the adjective comes after the noun and also takes the plural form.
In Polish there are also different suffixes for separate cases. The form of the adjective also takes the noun’s case.
Here are some examples:
| English Adjectives | Polish Adjectives |

| adjectives | przymiotniki |
| a green tree | zielone drzewo |
