Oh joy!

Can somebody please translate this for me… It’s in English, but it’s Greek to me.

Adjectives modifying nouns in the accusative must agree: the nominative for neuters and inanimate masculines, the genitive for animate masculines and the feminine ending exactly the same as the noun ending, namely -y/-  i-o.

This is my fun reading homework.  Can’t wait to read all four pages.

    Remember that adjectives describe nouns. Examples: tall man, short woman, blue coat. Adjectives are tall, short, and blue. In other languages, there are often different tenses or endings to the words depending on the gender of the noun. The above explanation sounds quite confusing, but I think that is what they are trying to say. You often have to know if the noun is male or female and the appropriate forms of the adjectives to describe them. It seems that learning other languages are quite difficult to learn if you don’t start early in life. I tried to learn French after learning Spanish and couldn’t keep them straight. Was it los, las, le, or la before the noun? Good luck, and hang in there!
