Questions & Answers about Eru blómin falleg?
How do we get blómin for "the flowers"?
Why doesn't the adjective falleg have a plural ending like "-ir" or "-ar"?
Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Because blóm is a neuter noun, we need the neuter plural form of the adjective fallegur (beautiful). For neuter words, the plural adjective form is actually falleg! It looks exactly like the feminine singular form, but here it is doing a different job.
If the word blóm looks the same in both singular and plural, how can we tell this sentence is plural?
Why does the verb Eru come at the very beginning of the sentence?
