a) 	Manx nouns are either masculine or feminine.

     	Singular feminine nouns may change the initial letters of adjectives 
	that qualify them.  (Come before in English)

a big school 	scoill vooar      	a small girl 	inneen veg  
a big church 	keeill vooar      	a little hand 	laue veg         
 
	Masculine or plural nouns will not change them.

a big man   	dooinney mooar    	a little boy 	guilley beg

b)	Adjectives that do not come before nouns in English are unchanged.

a big school 	scoill vooar 	a school is big. 	     Ta scoill mooar.

a little girl 	inneen veg  	a girl is small.  	Ta inneen beg.

a big church 	keeill vooar 	a church is big. 	     Ta keeill mooar.

a little hand 	laue veg    	a hand is little.    	Ta laue beg.  

 
c) 	Yn  followed by a singular feminine noun can also make changes.

keeill 	is feminine 	so    	yn cheeill	-  	the church
	 
kayt   	is masculine	so    	yn kayt	-  	the cat


e)        	Fo - under   

under a horse - 	fo cabbyl    	under a church  -    	fo keeill

under a boat  - 	fo baatey     	under a table     -  	fo boayrd

	In certain set phrases fo may change nouns by itself.

	(fo-halloo 	underground)

d) 	Fo - under              	fo + yn  =  fo'n
	may also make the same  changes to  	a noun which follows it.

under the table - 	fo'n voayrd
under the boat   - 	fo'n vaatey

under the coat  - 	fo'n chooat
under the church - 	fo'n cheeill
