lep, lepa, lepo
Adjective Gender Agreement
An adjective describing a singular noun agrees with its gender: lep, lepa, lepo.
How It Works
An adjective describing a singular noun agrees with its gender: lep, lepa, lepo. This agreement occurs both before a noun and after biti.
The singular forms are lep vrt, lepa hiša, lepo mesto. Before changing an adjective ending, identify the noun's gender and case. Lepo in lepo poje instead describes how someone sings and is an adverb, not a neuter noun agreement form.
