Hello guys!
I know that "poison" is "venenum" in latin... i want to know how to say "poisoned"... and is there a general rule to build adjectives from nouns?

Also, consider verbs that are related to the noun in question. The past participle (or present participle) of such verbs can often supply the appropriate adjectival use. In this case, veneno (1) means "to poison." Thus, if you want to refer to someone or something who has been poisoned, just use the past participle, that is, venenatus, -a, -um.
vinum venenatum regi noxae erit!
the poisoned wine will endanger the king (will be for a threat for the king)!
milites ab hostibus venenati debiliores fiunt.
the soldiers, poisoned by (their) enemies, are weakening (becoming weaker).
