In this declension type, strong (indefinite) and weak (definite) forms are either not at all distinguished or by tone only. The partitive form follows certain indefinite pronouns like jet (“something”). In the singular dative, there is a simpler distinction between “initial” and “non-initial” position, depending on whether the adjective is the first declined word of the noun phrase or not. |
