==Modifiers and descriptors==
In Packilvanian, there are technicallyfew neithertrue adjectives nor adverbs. This is because words which describe or modify other words have an embedded copulative i.e., the prefix that they have already implies something akin to "is" or "be". Thus, these words are functionally verbs. For instance, "the happy people" is "''meshabil mejubeel''" which directly translates to "the people (that) are happy". Words that modify or describe other words thus have the same prefix as the word that they are describing (e.g., '''''me'''shabil '''me'''jubeel'').
 
If multiple modifiers and descriptors are used, they appear according to the order intended by the speaker based. By a loose convention followed by practically no one, they appear in the following order:
Line 232:
*Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
*Purpose or qualifier.
== True Adjectives ==
A true adjective is a word that can only be used adjectivally e.g.,:
* Adjectives derived from words ending in -iya must end in -iya e.g., ''luTarsaan aBakhilfaniya'' can also be ''luTarsaan luBakhilfaniy''
