Latvian has two grammatical genders (masculine and feminine) and seven cases. Adjectives generally precede the nouns they modify, and agree in case, number, and gender. In addition, adjectives take distinct endings to indicate definite and indefinite interpretation: Viņa nopirka [vecu māju]. "She bought [an old house]. " Viņa nopirka [veco māju]. "She bought [the old house].
