Modification Strategies

This section outlines all the ways in which Sereer can syntactically and morphologically modify nouns, including -u adjectives, and relativizing na-adjectives. There is also a general discussion about 'true adjectives' (see section on Special Adjectives) as opposed to stative verb modification, and a section on notable coherent subclasses showing uniform morpho-syntactic patterns.

The following table summarizes several types of modifications, the details of which are explored in the subsections below, as well as in the section Determiners and Demonstratives.
