	Carpathian adjectives have nominal morphology, although they share some traits with inactive verbs, such as object conjugation. Unlike nouns, adjectives alternate between all four genders (masculine, feminine, common and neuter), agreed with the corresponding gender of the noun. Adjectives have three degrees of [[w:Comparison (grammar)\|comparison]]: '''positive''' (no suffix: masculine ''dàbas'', neuter ''dàba'', feminine ''dàbā'', common ''dàbis'' “good”), comparative (suffix ''-es-'': masculine ''dabesas'', neuter ''dabesa'', feminine ''dabesā'', common ''dabesis'' “better”) and superlative (suffix ''-im-'': masculine ''~~dabimas~~'', neuter ''~~dabima~~'', feminine ''~~dabimā~~'', common ''~~dabimis~~'' “better”). Their number agrees with the number of the corresponding nouns. Adjectives have no vocative case instead using the nominative, when necessary.

	As in the case of noun paradigms, adjectives have their own classes, but there are only two: "a"-stem and "u"-stem. All other declensional classes either merged into the two, or did not exist. The masculine and neuter adjectives share all their oblique case endings, being different only in the nominative (for all numbers) and accusative (for dual and plural).
