Northern Sami

Adjective

buorre ‎(comparative buoret, superlative buoremus)

1. good

Usage notes

The adjective buorre does not have a separate attributive form. Instead, it declines in the same case and number as the noun it modifies. There are two exceptions to this:

• With a noun in the illative or locative singular, the accusative/genitive form buori is used.
• With a noun in the illative or comitative plural, the accusative/genitive form buriid can be optionally used, alongside the regular forms buriide and buriiguin.

The nominative singular form is slightly irregular as well, ending in -e rather than -i.
