<p>Descriptive adjectives can be used <ahref="#Prädikat">predicatively</a> (Tá an bhean <i>mór</i> = The woman is <i>big</i>) or <ahref="#Attribut">attributively</a> (an bhean <i>mhór</i> = the <i>big</i> woman). Besides that, one can turn them into <ahref="adjekt4.htm#Adverb">adverbs</a> (Tá an bhean ag obair <u>go maith</u> = The woman works <i>well</i>)
Adjectives used predicatively are <b><i>unchanged</i></b> (as in German), e.g.:

<blockquote>Tá an fear <b>mór</b> - The man is big.

<p>Some additional adjectives can only be used predicatively, and not attributively (e.g. <i>féidir = possible, fiú = worth, iomaí = many </i>. These also only appear with the copula, not with bí or other verbs. e.g. <i>Is féidir é sin = that is possible; Is fiú é = it is worth it </i>
<p>Attributively used adjectives agree with the noun in case, number and gender.

One can not only <i>be quick </i>, one can also <i>work quickly </i>; in the latter case <i>quick</i> is no longer an adjective, but an <ahref="adverb.htm">adverb,</a> because it modifies a verb and not a noun. In German one does not notice the difference, in Irish it's easy: the particle <bclass="red">go</b> appears.

Other than that, the adverbs don't change very much.
<b><i>predicative</i></b> (!) Use of some <i>subjective evaluatory</i> adjectives is done with the verb bí: Tá an teach go dona = the house is <i>bad.</i></li>
