Yes, but when an adjective is used for a definite noun
(ex. "Konungrinn"), the adjective has a special ending, as it is
said in lesson 3 :
"Be careful thus, not to use the forms above with a definite noun,
for that is (under normal circumstances) wrong.
The definite declension of adjectives is not presented here yet,
since it is modelled on a noun declension not yet introduced."
So it is that definite declension I would like to know.
