Before the adjectives, heres a DISCLAIMER that I squeezed in just to protect my behind from any annoying critics

As youd expect, for every adjective that was suggested, there is a Sinhala equivalent. But the catch is that some of them (or dare I say, most of them) are RARELY used when speaking.

For example, a proper Sinhala word for ambitious is (apparently) unnthi kaamy My first reaction was unnthi what now???. I had never even heard it before in normal conversation with friends (but of course it is possible that Im hanging out with some illiterate dumbos)

So my approach was to include the equivalent adjectives wed use in actual conversation. Those that will not cause people to look at you as if youve lost your mind (by the way, for ambitious, I went with dhiyunu vnn unandhu (which translates into motivated to progress/develop). Im bloody proud of that.

In conclusion, for most of the adjectives, I may not have made the best choice (Id be happy to replace mine with

a better alternative you could suggest), but I am confident (and cocky) enough to say that theyre not wrong either (again, happy to be corrected) More importantly, when speaking Id most likely use these adjectives myself (NB: In case you didnt already know, EVERYTHING I tell you here and on the blog are things that I would use myself. Just trust in Dilshan)

A random pic taken yesterday by Awesome Father while I was texting But why did it I include it here? Absolutely no idea! I

stopped questioning my actions long time ago. You should too.

How to use this supplement:

1. The adjectives are split according to: o Table 1: Adjectives That Describe Living Nouns (People & Animals) o Table 2: Adjectives That Describe Inanimate Nouns (Tangible & Intangible Objects) o Table 3: Adjectives That Describe Both Living & Inanimate Nouns o Table 4: Adjectives For Which I Absolutely Dont Have A Clue!!! (CLICK HERE IF YOU WANT TO HELP!)

2. For each adjective, Ive done the 2 versions we saw in Part 1 & Part 2 of my adjectives blog post (for example, big and

is big)

3. In the interest of being efficient (another way of saying I got lazy) Ive given you 2 sample phrases on the next page using a living noun (man = miniha) and an inanimate noun (book = poth). Ive then given you a few other nouns that these could be substituted with.

4. And finally, replace whatever adjective you want with the sample adjective Ive used which is big (loku)

Okay? All set?

Ladies & gentlemen, thanks again for your contribution. Great team work. High fives all around!

Enjoy!
