Obvious examples of adjectives are words such as colours (yellow, red), and other descriptors of appearance (tall, dark, tired-looking). Adjectives can be considered a sub-type of adverb.

"An adjective is a part of speech which modifies a noun, usually making its meaning more specific. Adjectives are used in a predicative or attributive manner. In some languages, attributive adjectives precede the noun. This is the case in the Germanic languages, to which the English language belongs. In other languages, e.g. the Romance languages, the adjective follows the noun. Some linguists also classify possessive pronouns, such as his or her, and demonstratives, such as this or that as adjectives. However, they can only be used in an attributive manner. An adjectival phrase is a phrase with an adjective as its head. (e.g. full of toys) . Adjectival phrases may occur as premodifiers to a noun (a bin full of toys), or as predicatives to a verb. (the bin is full of toys.) Adjectives are sometimes used in place of nouns, as in many of the Beatitudes (e.g. \"Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy\"); these are called substantive adjectives. In languages with grammatical genders, such as Latin, the gender of the adjective may indicate the gender of the implied noun; thus malus means the bad man; mala, the bad woman; malum, the bad thing. In some languages, participles are used as adjectives. In the following examples, the adjective is highlighted in bold. \n* Attributive use: \n* It is a cold day. \n* He is a kind man. \n* I like blue sky. \n* Predicative use: \n* The sky is blue. \n* The joke she told was so funny, I could not stop laughing all day. \n* He went mad."@en . . . . . .

[An adjective is] any member of a class of words that modify nouns and pronouns, primarily by describing a particular quality of the word they are modifying, as wise in a wise grandmother, or perfect in a perfect score, or handsome in He is extremely handsome.
