This template should be used to decline all Belarusian adjectives.

which produces

You can add indicators in angle brackets after the lemma. Each lemma has its own indicators, so for example if you want to specify a surname declension you should specify  after both lemmas.

Prefixes and suffixes
Some adjectives have prefixes or suffixes attached to them. You can include them as follows, e.g. for :
