Agreement applies to adjectives in Gender, Number and Definiteness, when the adjective is used in attributive function. Definiteness does not apply in predicative function.
A number of adjectives has defective inflection. Another group has no possibility of inflection (gender, number and definiteness) or comparison: its members are completely invariable.
| Attribute | Value | Da. example | Da. tag |
| Gender | common | (en) dyr (bil) | adj_com |
| neuter | (et) dyrt (hus) | adj_neut | |
The adjective has no gender and definiteness agreement in the plural (neither in attributive nor in predicative functions). All regular adjectives receive `-e' as the plural ending, both in definite and in indefinite use.
| Attribute | Value | Da. example | Da. tag |
| Number | singular | (en) dyr (bil) | adj_com_sg |
| plural | dyre (biler) | adj_pl | |
The morphological distinction between definite and indefinite only exists in the singular in attributive function. As mentioned above (under Number), the definite and indefinite plural forms of adjectives are identical. However, a parser-based corpus tagger can distinguish between the two forms on the basis of the immediately preceding context of the adjective.
| Attribute | Value | Da. example | Da. tag |
| Definiteness | indefinite | (en) dyr (bil) | adj_com_sg_indef |
| definite | (den) dyre (bil) | adj_com_sg_def | |
| Definiteness | indefinite | dyre (biler) | adj_pl_indef |
| definite | (de) dyre (biler) | adj_pl_ def | |
