Postural Adjectives[]
Postural adjectives are used to describe the position and arrangement of an object relative to another object (which is often left unnamed). They are employed heavily as demonstratives, especially in situations where someone is being told to find something. For example, in idiomatic Metin, if you are pointing out a red shirt out of a pile of shirts that happens to be partially hanging off of a shelf, you would probably describe it as "huską męęs" (that hanging-off shirt) and not "huską ty'uy" (that red shirt) when pointing it out.

dangling off of something (like a loose rope): dhii
jutting off of something (scroll sticking out of a bookcase): dhį́
