There is no difference between adjectives and adverbs in the SFGPL; all words that modify are modifiers.
Modifiers provide words to express the opposite of the modification.
It is thereby possible to make wan corresponding to the English word "big" into ke wan, which means "small".
The SFGPL has a mo of sentences that make comparisons between nouns of two terms.
mo A F B C, meaning "A is more B than C.".
Comparative expressions such as "My table is bigger than yours." are expressed as follows.
mo mi ga so san fa 'table' so wan sen ge
To simply modify each part of speech with a modifier, the following table is used.
| SFGPL | |
|---|---|
| Noun | me Noun Modifier |
| Verb | na Verb Modifier |
| Modifier | ka Modifier Modifier |
Modifiers allow us to substitute English prepositions and noun phrases as modifiers.
In this case, the li, which converts nouns to modifiers, and noun determiners are often combined to form expressions.
For example, "I live in Tokyo.".
ta ga na sa 'live' li pun fa 'Tokyo'
The pun is a determiner of place.
| English | SFGPL |

| I | ga |

| yours | sen ge |
| live | sa 'live' |
| in Tokyo | li pun fa 'Tokyo' |
