There are two types of adjectives. The first type of adjectives are inflected for gender and number, meaning that the adjective has the same gender and number as the noun it modifies.

Here is an example:

The adjective “good” in the masculine singular is अच्छा. So, the phrase, “good boy” is अच्छा लड़का.

The adjective “good” in the masculine plural is अच्छे. So the phrase, “good boys” is अच्छे लड़के.

The adjective “good” in the feminine singular and plural is अच्छी. So, the phrase, “good girl” is अच्छी लड़की and the phrase “good girls” is अच्छी लड़कियाँ.

The second type of adjectives do not inflect for gender and number.

The adjective “beautiful” सुंदर stays the same whether it’s “beautiful boy”सुंदर लड़का or “beautiful girl” सुंदर लड़की.

Here is a list of common adjectives:
