What's good to know about descriptive adjectives in Bosnian?

The function of descriptive adjectives in Bosnian is to name the qualities and characteristics of animate and inanimate beings.
Descriptive adjectives in Bosnian are declined and can be compared.

Firstly there are definite descriptive adjectives.
They have the same case endings as Bosnian possessive pronouns.
You find the definite form of a descriptive adjective if it answers to the following question:
Koji? (Which (one)?)

For example:
Koji je tvoj šal? Moj šal je onaj zeleni.
(Which scarf is yours? My scarf is the green one.)
Secondly we have to distinguish indefinite descriptive adjectives. They have the same case endings as the Bosnian nouns.
You find the indefinite form of a descriptive adjective if it answers to the question:
Kakav?“ (What (kind of)?)

For example:
Kakav je Sendvič? Sendvič je ukusan.
(What's he sandwich like? The sandwich is delicious.)

Regarding comparison:

When it comes to comparison of adjectives, the distinction of these two types plays no role any more.
For both types of descriptive adjectives the same rules apply for building the comparative forms.
