Pirates & Revolutionaries

"if you think childlike, you'll stay young. If you keep your energy going, and do everything with a little flair, you're gunna stay young. But most people do things without energy, and they atrophy their mind as well as their body. you have to think young, you have to laugh a lot, and you have to have good feelings for everyone in the world, because if you don't, it's going to come inside, your own poison, and it's over" Jerry Lewis "I don’t believe in the irreversibility of situations" Deleuze

The interrogative adjectives are:

quel

We use interrogative adjectives to ask ques

tions about some noun:

for example

Quelle personne demandez-vous?

Which person are you asking for?

The exclamative adjectives are also:

We use exclamative adjectives to express surprise, indignation, joy, fear, and so on. They take the same forms as the exclamative adjectives.

for example:

Didn't he warn you? What nerve!
