right now i can't think of a way to transform a noun into an adjective like you're describing, unless the adjective actually exists. i think we just use phrases that convey a similar meaning ("il y a de l'ail" for "garlicky")

Yeah, no, French doesn’t do that. The English -y suffix is really productive and there’s no exact translation.
As for your other question of nouns to verbs, no to that as well. When French absorbs or creates a verb from a noun, it tends to keep it as a noun.
Le ski (nom) -> Faire du ski (verbe)

so i guess instead of it being garlicky, it would more be constructed as "it tastes of garlic"?

[hot rock]
