ReplyDeleteThanks for compiling this list! Are these all in the form that comes before the noun? Or are some in the "... is adjective" form, like
ReplyDeleteparakkuyi might be (according to Google Translate)?
My other question is about those adjectives which end in a consonant. When using those in the "... is adjective" form, Google Translate (which I know can be faulty) recommends putting 'ya' after the adjective. Ex: එය වෙනස් ය. Is this accurate?
Thank you for your comment and sorry for the late response! All of the adjectives in the list are in the form that comes right before the noun. I'll make sure to update the post to clarify this. For your second question, adding ය is accurate, but extremely formal. You would use this form of the verb in formal academic writing, but you would almost never hear people use this in daily conversation. Google Translate will always translate to very formal and academic Sinhala. I hope that makes sense!
