Grammar
Describing with sinn and hunn
After sinn, the adjective takes no ending: D'Wunneng ass kleng. Meng Schwëster ass jonk.
To say what someone or something has, use hunn: Hien huet e Baart. D'Haus huet e Gaart.
- D'Wunneng ass kleng. — The flat is small.
- Meng Schwëster ass jonk. — My sister is young.
- Hien huet e Baart. — He has a beard.
- D'Haus huet e Gaart. — The house has a garden.
