Something interesting in Tagalog is, Nouns can be preceeded by adjectives or vice versa: Wikang Pambansa - National Language Pambansang Awit - National Anthem Tanikalang Ginto - Golden links (tanikala - chain, ginto - gold) Which is something I like, and will probably add into Saalangal (as it is, adjectives preceed nouns, right now, but this way, it adds flexibility, and also can make things sound better) _________________________________________________________ This ain't a yes, this ain't a no, just do your thang, we'll see how it goes
