7.4. Adjectives as Nouns

Many nouns and adjectives look the same, the difference being how they are used. An adjective can be used as a noun. This is especially apparent if the adjective can describe people.

Elle èst un mentiroso.	He is a liar.
Un insano irrompeu en la casa.	A madman broke into the house.

It also applies in situations where one object of a particular type is differentiated from others.

Quale libro? Vòllîo lo rosso.	Which book? I want the red one.
