usually go after the noun they modify, and agree with it in number (singular/plural) and gender (masculine/feminine). Plural of adjectives is formed observing the same rules of nouns. So we have: 'n òm pesèn / du òm pesègn (a short man / two short men) 'na fómna pesèna / dò fómne pesène (a short woman / two short women) Although, in general, if compared with the Italian tongue, Eastern Lombard is less permissive under this aspect, some common adjectives like bèl (beautiful), bröt (ugly), gran (big), bù (good, good-natured), brào (good, clever) can also be placed before the noun. In this case the meaning can take on a different nuance, e.g.:en bröt òm (a bad-natured man)en òm bröt (an ugly man) Superlative Eastern Lombard expresses an extreme degree or absolute state of something by means of the absolute superlative, that corresponds to the English form very + adjective. Differently from Italian, Spanish and other Romance languages, Eastern Lombard lacks a counterpart of the form adjective+issimo and also lacks a cognate for the Italian molto. In the Brescian variety, the most widespread form is adjective + fés, e.g.:l'è bèl fés (it is very beautiful) 'na maöla dólsa fés (a very sweet strawberry) Although, the adverb fés cannot be used if the adjective is placed before the noun. In that case the superlative form is obtained by the adverb gran placed before the adjective, e.g.:du gran bèj caàj (two very beautiful horses)l'è 'n gran brào barbér (he is a very good barber) Another way to express a high degree of something is to reinforce it by means of a second adjective+ét/ènt (formerly a present participle), for example:só ché mis gosét (I am very wet; literally: dripping wet)la padèla l'è calda sbrojéta (the pan is very hot; literally: burning hot) the second element is very frequently a repetition of the first adjective, i.e.: na máchina nöa nöènta (a very new car) ghè za ciar ciarènt (it is already very clear)del dutùr ghéra zó pjé pjenènt (it was very full of people down there to the doctor room) Demonstrative adjectives Eastern Lombard makes a two-way distinction of demonstrative: the proximal form for the singular masculine is chèsto, while the distal form is chèl. This is the declension for the two forms: An alternative form is chès·cc, pronounced , but the schwa is very reduced and hardly pronounced. Both the proximal and the distal form
