Latin Adjectives: Irregular Adjectives: alius, alter, ullus, nullus, neuter, solus, totus

Overview

Nine adjectives exist that do not quite follow the same inflection patterns as first and second declension adjectives. These are: alius, alter, ullus, nullus, uter, neuter, solus, and totus. These adjectives follow two different type of inflection patterns in their singular forms. The plural forms of these adjectives, however, follow normal first and second declension patterns.

In addition, these nine irregular adjectives do not have vocative forms. Hopefully, the reason for this will be apparent as you see each word’s meaning.
