たる adjectives are words in Japanese that:
- Are used to modify nouns
- End in たる
- Would typically be translated into English with adjectives
They are used in the same way as な adjectives to modify nouns, replacing the な with たる.
The form is somewhat rare, and invokes a formal sense. Many taru adjectives are used in other forms (eg as nouns).
In total there are about 430 taru adjectives in Japanese. However, fewer than ten have a usefulness rating of 5 or better (the most useful 10,000 words in Japanese).
Some of the more common たる adjectives include:
certain; definite; clear; credible (see also: 確)
