Hello,
I have a question. I don't know if it works the same way in Hindi (I have no experience in Hindi), but adjectives agree in number, case, and gender with the noun they refer to in Sanskrit. This is simple with one noun, but how does it work with multiple nouns? Obviously, the two nouns cannot be in a different case, and number would not be a problem, but which gender does one assign with multiple nouns of different genders? For example, which form of the adjective सुन्दर sundara (beautiful) would one use for फलानि वृक्षाश्च phalAni vRkSAzca (fruits and trees)? phala is neuter but vRkSa is masculine. Would one use सुन्दरानि sundarAni (neuter plural) or सुन्दराः sundarAH (masculine plural)?
Thank you in advance,
