What about burnt as an adjective - "burnt toast", "burnt ocher"? KaryAnca (talk) 19:47, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
- Participles are often used that way- think of constructions like "half-eaten toast". That doesn't make them adjectives. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:38, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think this would meet some tests for being a true adjective: modification by "too" and "very", use in "more burnt than" as a comparative, coordination with adjectives. DCDuring TALK 14:01, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
