Shameless AFMCL:

In Hangkerimce, adjectives and adverbs are practically the same, you just

predicate with no modification, but the most common way of marking comple=
x
adjective/adverbs is splitting in phrases:
  John built the house skilfully
would be said something like
  Yong has built house, building was skilful(ly)

In Chleweyish, verbs and adjectives are the same and the way of appling a=
n
adjective to a predicate would be by either puting the adjective after th=
e
predicate
  Jon house built skilful
(skilful =3D to be skilful)
or by using a question-conector word meaning _how_ or something like:
  house what? Jon built how? skilful
