They can be used to give more information about a person, place, thing, or idea. In this lesson, we will look at how to use adjectives in Lao, as well as some common examples.

Adjective Placement
In Lao, adjectives usually come after the noun they are describing. For example:
- ບໍ່ແມ່ນເຮືອນສີແດງ (bòmèn hèuan sī dèng) - Not a red house
However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, when using certain adverbs, the adjective may come before the noun. For example:
- ສີແດງທັງໝົດ (sī dèng thang mōt) - All red
Adjective Agreement
In Lao, adjectives must agree with the noun they are describing in terms of gender and number. For example:
- ຫນຶ່ງຄົນຊາຍ (nèung kon sai) - One man
- ສອງຄົນຫຍັງ (sǿng kon yang) - Two women
