What is the adjective form of the word adjective? I wanted to say something like adjectivial but that's not a word.

Do you know of a website where I can look up different forms of words? – Web_Designer Apr 19 '11 at 3:43

@inquisitive_web_developer: Dictionary.com often gives "related forms", and there is a list on the left where you can see the word in question in a list of its alphabetical neighbours; usually the two of them will come up with the word you need. In this case you will find "adjectival" in the alphabetical list. dictionary.reference.com/browse/adjective – Cerberus Apr 19 '11 at 11:53
