Adjektivendung (endings of adjectives)

The adjective used to describe something takes on the gender of the object that it is describing.

eg der Tisch -> der alter Tisch
die Stuhle -> die neue Stuhle
das Sofa -> das bequemes Sofa

However if the noun is used in an akkusativ context, the adjective will follow the respective endings of the gender.

den Tisch -> einen großen Tisch
