Usage notes
- The positive form is left uninflected in standard usage: ein sexy Kleid. Inflected forms do exist, but they are restricted to the vernacular: ein sexyes Kleid. They are altogether infrequent.
- The comparation forms need to be declined when they serve as attributes. At least with the comparative sexyer this is most often avoided in standard usage, meaning that the comparative is commonly used in predicative position only.
