Hi, just wondering about a grammatical note. When using an adjective to describe a noun in plural form, does the adjective also take on the 'j'?

For example, which is correct for "Everyday items"?:

"Vulgara artikloj" or, "vulgaraj artikloj"?

Thank you to anyone who can help.

Yes, the adjective also gets the J-ending. "Item"/"Article" is, however, artikolo.

Ah, thanks. Much appreciated.

darkweasel:"Item"/"Article" is, however, artikolo.
Are you certain? It's my understanding that that sort of article is artiklo, whereas the text sort of article is artikolo.

Yes, adrideo, I actually thought that too. That is what my dictionary informs me.

You're right - see, I'm learning something new too. okulumo.gif
