Adadnouns


As adverbs enhance verbs and adnouns enhance nouns, adadnouns enhance adnouns.

(In English parlance, "adjectives modify nouns", and "adjectives also modify adjectives", as in "a pale blue shirt".  English also uses "ly" word-endings to describe adjectives, as in "amazingly beautiful".  A list is in Column B. 
In Peoplese "-ly" is an adverb suffix; a word-root with an "-ly" suffix always enhances a verb.

Click on adadnouns" at the top of the Grammar page for an explanation of adadnouns.

The adadnoun suffix is "-by".  A Peoplese word with "-by" suffix is modifing an adjective.  English "excessively complicated language" uses an "ly" ending adjective to modify a "ed" ending adjective.  See Column A.

English also uses "ingly" word-endings for words modifying adjectives, as in Column C.  Could it be any more agonizingly difficult?  No wonder people spend 12 years learning English.

In Peoplese, root-word + -by suffix. Clear-by easy-er.
