0 Hi LiJ, I haven't heard "genius" used as an adjective, but perhaps someone else has. 02 br 02 br 00 In the second pair, I'd say 01 i 01 u 00 which 02 u 02 i 00 refers to the nouns, 01 i 01 u 00 genius 02 u 02 i 00 and 01 i 01 u 00 guy 02 u 02 i 00 . Actually, you'd have to include the "shy," since he's probably a guy.

01 i 00 Genius 02 i 00 is a noun, so an article is needed: 01 i 00 He is 01 b 00 a 02 b 00 genius. 02 i 00 I'll let someone else explain about the articles. To me, they are self-evident. 02 br
00 Cheers 02 br
