Adjectives agree with nouns in terms of gender, case, and number. Attributive adjectives most commonly precede the noun, although in certain cases, especially in fixed phrases (like , "Polish (language)"), the noun may come first; the rule of thumb is that generic descriptive adjectives normally precede (e.g. , "beautiful flower") while categorizing adjectives often follow the noun (e.g. , "black coal"). Most short adjectives and their derived adverbs form comparatives and superlatives by inflection (the superlative is formed by prefixing to the comparative).
