Adjectives are words that describe or qualify a noun.
| Jeg | har | en | gammel | hund. | I | have | an | old | dog. | ||
| x | o | –> | x | o | –> |
When the adjective serves as a subjective complement (see Mini-dictionary), it stands as an independent element in the sentence.
| Hunden | er | gammel. | The | dog | is | old. | |||||
| x | o | Ä | x | o | Ä |
