What are the forms of adjectives. Spelling of short adjectives

Most quality adjectives form a short form. Short adjectives answer the questions “what?”, “what?”, “what?”, “what?”.

*Pay attention!
After hissing short masculine adjectives b is not written: the day is good_, the wind is fresh_, the flower is fragrant_

Some adjectives in the short form have a vowel o or e (ё) in the root. This makes it easier to pronounce the word:

low - low
bright - bright
narrow - narrow
bitter - bitter
poor - poor
smart - smart

Some adjectives form two short forms at once (on enen and -en):
immoral - immoral, immoral
courageous - courageous, courageous
responsible - responsible, responsible
characteristic - characteristic, characteristic

Short adjectives do not change by case (they can only be in the form of I.p.), but they change by gender (in the singular) and numbers. Sometimes in set expressions you can find short adjectives not in the nominative case:
on bare feet, in broad daylight

Meaning

long form = short form	long form ~ short form (according to the text)	long form ≠ short form
unyielding character - character is unyielding	full f. denotes a constant sign, kr.f. - temporary: They have a cheerful, healthy boy. (=always) Are you healthy? (= at the moment)	For polysemantic words, there is not always a kr.f .: The weather was clear. (=solar, cr.f no) The purpose of the attack was clear. (=understandable, full form no) Pushkin is a great Russian poet and writer. Great and mighty is the Russian language! (=outstanding) The suit is too big for him. (=big (about clothes), no cr.f.) Have you bought tickets for a performance at the Maly Theatre? This year the sweater is too small for me. (=small (about clothes), no cr.f.)
	cr.f. indicates an excess of the manifestation of the trait: An old grandmother is sitting on the bench. Grandma is too old for long walks. (=very, too old) cr.f. denotes a sign in relation to something: Tight jeans are back in fashion. Jeans in this size are too tight for me	Adjectives glad, must, are used only in kr.f.

Some qualitative adjectives do not form a short form:

• names of derived colors: brown, lilac, orange
• animal colors: bay (horse), brown (bear)
• verbal adjectives with the suffix -l-: past, tired, obsolete
• adjectives with suffixes -sk-, -esk-: fraternal, friendly, enemy, infernal, comic
• adjectives with the suffix -ov-: advanced, business, combat (about character), circular
• adjectives of subjective assessment: hefty, thin, tiny, enormous, unpleasant

Words denoting signs of an object and answering the questions “what?” and "whose?" in Russian are called adjectives. The name speaks for itself - this is what attached to something, namely to another word - to a noun. Without it, an explicit or implied noun, there can be no adjective at all. Otherwise, it loses the meaning of its presence in the sentence and may even turn into a noun itself (cf.: blind(which?) old man- adj. and sat (who?) blind- n.).

Accordingly, with a change in the word being defined, the dependent will adapt to it, assimilating its morphemic features. It is expressed by endings. Adjectives are always in the same gender, number and case as the noun they are related to.

Therefore, in order not to make a mistake in the spelling of the end of an adjective, one should:

1. find the noun to which it refers (attached);
   
2. put the question from the noun to the adjective. The ending of the question will prompt the desired ending of the adjective; for the most part they are in tune: weather(which?) warm; morning(which?) sunny; songs(what kind?) quiet; growth(what?) high; branches(what?) thin);
   
3. At the same time, it must be remembered that the question “what?” it is impossible to check the endings of adjectives of the initial form (adjectives in m.
   In these cases:
   • ending is written under stress -oh (pencil(m. r. unit h. I. p.) (which one?) color);
     
   • no accent - -th / -th (pencil(which?) sharp, blue).
     
   In addition to those mentioned, adjectives also have other modifiable features:
   • degree of comparison;
     
   • full or short form.
     

Both of them are relevant only for quality adjectives!

What are quality adjectives?
According to their meaning, all adjectives are divided into three categories.

1. Quality. Answering the question "which one?" and indicate the quality of items: Colour ( yellow Red), the size ( big, small), the weight ( heavy, small), traits ( laughable, sullen), age ( young, old), taste qualities ( bitter, sour). Most of them can easily find antonyms ( big - small, sharp - blunt) or synonyms ( big - large, huge, enormous);
   
2. Relative. They also answer the question "what?", but define an object in relation to another object: its location ( street lamp, school yard), material ( paper snake, silk ribbon), destination ( ski suit, shoe brush), relation to time ( evening cool, early dinner);
   
3. Possessive. The only ones who answer the question "whose?", since characterize an object by its belonging to any living being (mother's apron, fox tail, Sashin scream).
   

Qualitative adjectives are significantly different from the rest. They alone can:

• form a short form, answering the question "what?", ( high - high, bitter - bitter);
  
• show signs of objects to a greater or lesser extent ( high - higher - even higher - highest - highest).
  

Strengthening of the sign, as can be seen from the example, is on the rise: from the initial, positive, takes the form of comparative and superlative degrees; which can be expressed in different ways:

• simple forms using suffixes: higher, highest;
  
• compound forms with the help of additional words: more (less, most, very, most...) high.
  

All adjectives are declined according to cases, numbers and genders (in singular). And only good ones have exceptions.

1. Short adjectives do not decline! That is, they do not change by cases, but only by numbers and by gender (in singular): hungry, hungry, hungry.
   
2. In general, qualitative adjectives in a comparative degree of a simple form do not change at all ( higher, lower, narrower, wider, faster…) and in the composite superlative degree built on its basis ( above - above all).
   

The rest of the qualitative adjectives decline in the same way as the relative ones. Depending on the last consonant in the stem, their endings can be in hard and soft versions ( -a-i, -o-e, -o-o, -s-i).

Also, adjectives agree with the noun in animation if the noun is in the form of C. p. pl. hours, and for the masculine - and in units. hours (cf.: I see beautiful(what?) shoes and I see handsome(what?) girls).

Possessive adjectives decline differently. Their type of declension is called mixed. There is a special set of endings. They don't have to match. At the same time, in the declension of adjectives with the suffix -y- and adjectives with suffixes -un-/-in- or -ov-/-ev- there are differences.

Possessive adjectives with a suffix -y- necessarily in the middle of the word a soft sign is written ( dog, sable, marten, fox...); in all forms except for the initial one (m. s. h. I. / V. p.), in it the endings will be zero ( hare_, fox_, cat_, sable_).

The ranks of adjectives do not have clear boundaries, which allows them to move from one to another. Such changes depend on the context, usually when used in figurative meanings. So possessive adjective fox(whose?) Nora becomes relative when fox(what? what is it made of?) fur coat, and the relative adjective iron(which one? what is it made of?) tap turns into quality iron(what? i.e. strong) patience.

And finally, there are some special adjectives for colors ( beige, khaki, indigo, etc.), nationalities ( Khanty, Mansi, Urdu...) and clothing styles ( corrugated, flared, mini...), as well as words (weight) Gross Net, (hour) peak, which have their own characteristics: they are always unchanged and are always placed after the noun ( beige jackets, flared skirt).

Some qualitative adjectives in the modern language have only short forms, for example: glad, must, much, which are also invariable.

Adjective, we know from primary school. But how it is written in some cases is already forgotten. Let's remember this, and at the same time the semantic, morphological and syntactic principles of writing.

Adjective as a part of speech

The adjective is not a simple part of speech: it indicates the properties of an object, its qualities, describes what events and states can be. Moreover, the text, if present, becomes bright and saturated.

The change occurs in gender, number and case, depending on the name of the noun to which it refers. For example, "big table": in this case, the masculine noun "table" is used in the nominative case and singular; "large" has the same characteristics.

Varieties

There is a full and short form of the adjective. The possessive adjective has only the full form. A short adjective answers the question: what? what? what is it? what are A quality adjective has both forms. It is noteworthy that from ancient times only short ones were used in the Slavic languages. It is from them that the full, modern forms of the part of speech originated. At present, the use of the full form of the word in Russian is neutral. A short one is mainly used in literary vocabulary.

The short form of the adjective changes in the singular by gender and number. Take, for example, the word "beautiful". In the masculine gender, it has a zero ending. With a certain change, the following words are obtained:

• beautiful - feminine singular;
• beautiful - neuter singular;
• beautiful is plural.

The short form of the adjective does not change by case. Only some words in this form have case changes in phraseological units. An example of such a change would be expressions such as "on bare feet"; lines from the songs: "Green wine ordered to pour." From the point of view of the syntactic function in sentences, a short adjective is included in the compound nominal predicate and is its nominal part. For example: he is slender, he is kind.

In this case, we are talking only about a qualitative adjective. Relatives do not occur in short form. You can try to make relative words like "copper" or "washing" shorter. Nothing will work.

Possessive adjectives with the suffixes -in-, -yn-, -y, usually come in a short form in the singular nominative case (daddy, daddy's spring). In these cases, the ending coincides with a similar part of the word for nouns (spring is a noun, it has the ending -a; daddy is a possessive adjective also with the ending -a).

In order to accurately know where it is necessary or not at all necessary to put a soft sign, one should only determine the form of the adjective. But in short form, after the hissing consonant, the soft sign is not written: "burning - burning, hot - hot."

The short form of an adjective is very often confused with an adverb. In such cases, it is necessary to determine what the word agrees with. If it agrees with a noun, then it is an adjective. And if it refers to the verb - in this case, there is an adverb. For example: "a heavy burden" and "breathed heavily." The question of which adjective is characterized by a short form can be answered as follows: a qualitative one with a zero ending, if it is masculine singular, the same words that have endings -а/-я and -о/-е in the feminine and neuter gender in singular.

Use in text

They are used in the text in cases where the author needs a certain amount of categoricalness, since it is this connotation that adjectives in a short form have. This quality is not characteristic of full adjectives, since they significantly soften any quality of the subject. For example, they say about a person that "he is brave." This sounds assertive, but very mild. But the phrase "the guy dared" does not tolerate absolutely no objections.

Short forms of adjectives are formed from the full form. In the masculine gender, a zero ending is added, for example, in the word "deaf" only the stem should be left, the masculine gender is obtained - "deaf" ("When I eat, I am deaf and dumb").

Shades

The full and short forms of adjectives are different from each other: shades of meanings, emotional coloring, ways of formation. Some of them have a fluent vowel o-e. You can compare "low" and "low" derived from it. A similar example: "terrible" - "terrible".

Which adjective "proper" (short form) refers to was discussed above, but which of them do not have this form, it is worth considering. So, there are no short forms for adjectives denoting the suit of animals (black, bay, gray) and colors (blue, brown, orange, etc.); verbal words with the suffix -l- (obsolete - obsolete), with the suffixes -sk- and -ov- (soldier, combat).

The short form of the adjective "peculiar" will have such forms. Singular: inherent, peculiar, peculiar; plural: inherent.

signs

Adjectives have a number of differences and features. The full form determines the constancy in the sign, and the short one expresses only the sign that appears at a particular moment, besides, they have no case and declension. Two phrases can be compared: a sick child, a sick child.

The full and short forms of adjectives have significant differences in their function in the sentence.

• Complete - agreed definitions.
• Brief - part of the predicate.

The adjective name is one of the main ones used by its speakers constantly. It has a number of indicators, therefore, before answering the question of how the adjective changes, it is necessary to clarify what exactly should be understood by this part of speech.

The term "adjective" appeared in the Russian language a long time ago, and it was formed from the Latin word adjectivum, which means "addition" in translation. That is why the lexical meaning of the word "adjective" should be considered "a name that is attached to a noun."

In general, the adjective denotes a lexico-grammatical class of word forms denoting a non-procedural attribute of an object. The lexical meaning in this case is expressed with the help of inflectional categories. Adjectives in a sentence have their own syntactic function - a definition, in especially difficult cases they are a compound nominal predicate.

Adjective: three in one

Speaking about the adjective, three understandings of this term should be noted. According to the first, adjectives proper, pronouns-adjectives, participles and ordinal numbers should be attributed to this part of speech. The lexical meaning of these words (an attribute of an object) is supplemented with new shades. This point of view is called the broad understanding of the adjective.

There is a formal position of a moderate type, in which only adjectives proper and ordinal numbers are included under adjectives. This point of view was popular in the 60-70s of the XX century, until it gave way to a broad understanding actively lobbied by Russian Grammar-80.

With a narrow understanding of the name of the adjective, only adjectives proper are included in it. Many linguists prefer to adhere to this particular approach, since only it takes into account all the features by which a particular part of speech is distinguished. It is on the basis of this point of view that the analysis of the adjective is carried out today.

How does the adjective change?

The adjective has a number of morphological categories, with the help of which it can be changed if necessary. All these categories are dependent on other parts of speech, the adjective ending is a universal morpheme that can indicate inflectional categories.

Adjectives change according to gender, number and case, while when the word passes into the plural, the gender disappears as unnecessary. Most often, the inflectional categories of an adjective can be clarified by using its ending in combination with the ending of a noun. Sometimes it happens that the adjective is used with and at the end it is not possible to get complete information about the word. In this case, the meaning of the gender, number and case of the noun will depend on the ending of the adjective. The number of the adjective name plays an important role here, since it affects all indicators at once.

Short and long forms of adjectives

Most adjectives have short and long forms. During the existence of the Old Slavonic (Old Russian) language, short forms enjoyed priority, now the situation has changed exactly the opposite.

Adjectives in the full form are most often placed before the noun, in which case they play the role of a definition in the sentence. If the full adjective is behind the noun, it is most often the nominal part of the compound nominal predicate. If there is no verb in the sentence, the adjective takes on the role of the predicate.

Most often they are located after the noun, in this case they play the role of the nominal part of the compound nominal predicate. If the sentence contains a predicate expressed by a verb, a short adjective can play the function of a separate agreed definition.

Short forms of adjectives (qualitative)

Some qualitative adjectives have retained their short form; these are the remnants of the active use of this phenomenon in the Old Russian language. These forms usually denote temporary signs that may be applicable to a particular situation, in addition, they can convey a softened categorical assessment of a particular sign.

The short form is formed using the bases of full adjectives, to which generic endings should be added. In the formation of short masculine adjectives, the alternation of the letters “o” and “e” with zero sound may appear, this phenomenon is a consequence of the fall of the reduced ones.

It is important to be able to distinguish short forms from truncated adjectives that are actively used in folklore and fiction. Short adjectives can only be qualitative and change only by gender and number; they are most often used in postposition in relation to a noun.

Ranks of adjectives

To understand how the adjective changes, it is necessary to touch upon its lexical and grammatical categories. Qualitative adjectives can denote the qualities of people, objects and animals, color features, and also give a general assessment of any phenomenon referred to in the sentence.

Relative adjectives differ in that they express the attribute of an object indirectly, through their relationship to an object or some action. With the help of them, the relation to persons, animals, objects, actions, concepts, places, times and numbers is indicated. Lexical meaning is conveyed with the help of special suffixes.

Possessive adjectives are the most difficult category. In the broad sense of the word, it includes adjectives with possessive suffixes, in the narrow sense - a part of speech must simultaneously have two features - a suffix and an individual belonging to a person or object.

How to analyze an adjective?

Morphological parsing of an adjective is a fairly simple procedure that can be completed in a few minutes. The parsing scheme works the same for both the school level and the university level, so it will not cause any difficulties or additional trouble. If necessary, you can consult linguistic reference books.

In the analysis, it is necessary to indicate: the word form, the belonging of the word form to a part of speech, categorical meaning, the initial form + a question to it and a semantic question. Next, you need to specify all the lexico-grammatical indicators and the type of declension (with indicators). For quality adjectives, you will need to specify comparatives and short forms (with evidence in the form of indicators). Further, it is necessary to note by what nominal indicators the adjective is consistent with the number, case), and indicate its syntactic function in the sentence.

Unstressed adjective endings

Quite often, a situation arises when it is very difficult to check, since it is unstressed. In this case, you will need to use a number of questions (which? which? which? which? what?). You should also remember about exceptions - adjectives ending in “-s”, “-s”, “-s”, “-s”, in most forms they put a soft sign before the end: rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.

The exception is the nominative and accusative singular masculine. If the adjective was formed from the name of any month, the soft sign will be preserved: July - July.

How is an adjective learned?

Previously, the period when the adjective name began to be studied (Grade 3) did not suit everyone, which is why children today learn about parts of speech much earlier than previous generations. The adjective is much easier to learn because it is closely related to another part of speech - the noun, and even has similar grammatical indicators.

To find out how the adjective changes, you need to make every effort in the classroom and listen carefully to your teacher. However, if a child accidentally missed a lesson and it is now very difficult for him to catch up, he can open any reference book from a large number of scientific literature and find the answer to his question. The answer in this case may not always be correct, and this must be taken into account when searching.

In the university format, the adjective is studied much deeper, but a small number of hours are provided for its development, which will help the student to repeat only a basic understanding of this part of speech. However, university students have access to libraries and can easily and quickly find the information they need.

§one. General characteristics of the adjective

The adjective is an independent significant part of speech.

1. grammatical meaning- "sign of the subject."
Adjectives are words that answer the questions: what?, whose?

2. Morphological features:

• constants - rank by value, for qualitative ones: full / short form and degrees of comparison,
• inflected - case, number, in the singular - gender.

3. Syntactic role in a sentence: for full forms of quality adjectives, as well as for relative and possessive adjectives - a definition, for short forms of quality adjectives - part of a compound nominal predicate.

§2. Morphological features of adjectives

The adjective, like other parts of speech, has a set of morphological features. Some of them are permanent (or immutable). Others, on the contrary, are non-permanent (or changeable). So, for example, the adjective sweet is a quality adjective, full form, positive degree of comparison. In a sentence, this word can be in different cases and numbers, and in the singular - in different genders. In the illustration, dotted lines lead to variable features. The ability to be in full or short form, in a positive - comparative - superlative degree, linguists refer to constant features. Different permanent signs are expressed in different ways. For example:

sweeter - comparative adjective sweet expressed by the suffix -sche- and the absence of an ending,
less sweet - the comparative degree of the adjective sweet is expressed by the combination less + sweet,
sweet - a short form of the adjective in singular. m.r. has a null ending, while the full form sweet has an ending -y.

Non-permanent signs: case, number, gender (in the singular) are expressed by endings: sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, etc.

§3. Ranks of adjectives by meaning

Depending on the nature of the meaning, adjectives are divided into:

• quality: big, small, good, bad, funny, sad,
• relative: golden, tomorrow, forest, spring,
• possessive: fox, wolf, father, mother, fathers.

Quality adjectives

Qualitative adjectives denote features that can be expressed to a greater or lesser extent. Answer the question: Which?
They have:

• full and short forms: good - good, cheerful - cheerful
• degrees of comparison: small - less - smallest and smallest.

Most quality adjectives are non-derivative words. The stems of quality adjectives are generating stems from which adverbs are easily formed: bad ← bad, sad ← sad.
The meaning of quality adjectives is such that most of them enter into relationships

• synonyms: big, large, huge, enormous
• antonyms: big - small.

Relative adjectives

Relative adjectives correlate in meaning with the words from which they are formed. Therefore, they are so named. Relative adjectives are always derived words: golden ← gold, tomorrow ← tomorrow, forest ← forest, spring ← spring. The signs expressed by relative adjectives do not have different degrees of intensity. These adjectives do not have degrees of comparison, as well as full and short forms. Answer the question: Which?

Possessive adjectives

These adjectives express the idea of ​​belonging. They, unlike qualitative and relative adjectives, answer the question: Whose? Possessive adjectives do not have degrees of comparison, as well as full and short forms.
Suffixes of possessive adjectives: fox - -iy- [iy’], mother’s - -in-, sinitsin - [yn], fathers - -ov-, Sergeev -ev-.
Possessive adjectives have a special set of endings. Even from the above examples, it can be seen that in the initial form (im.p., singular, m.r.) they have a zero ending, while other adjectives have endings - oh, oh, oh.

Forms im.p. and v.p. possessive adjectives. and plural as in nouns, and the rest as in adjectives:

Singular

Im.p. zh.r. - a: mother, fox, m.r. -:, mother, fox cf. - oh, e: mom, fox.

Rod.p. zh.r. - oh, to her: mother's, fox, m.r. and cf. - wow, his: mother's, fox.

Data p. zh.r. - oh, to her: mother's, fox, m.r. and cf. - oh, him: mother's, fox.

Win.p. zh.r. - y, y: mother's, fox, m.r. and cf. R. - as im.p. or r.p.

Tv.p. zh.r. - oh, to her: mother's, fox, m.r. and cf. - th, them: mother's, fox.

P.p. zh.r. - oh, to her: mother's, fox, m.r. and cf. - om, eat: mother's, fox.

Plural

Im.p. - s, and: mother's, fox.

Rod.p. - oh, them: mother's, fox.

Data p. - th, them: mother's, fox.

Win.p. - as im.p. or v.p.

Tv.p. - s, them: mother's, fox.

P.p. - oh, them: mother's, fox.

Adjectives can move from one category to another. Such transitions are due to the peculiarities of the context and are associated, as a rule, with the use of adjectives in figurative meanings. Examples:

• fox nora is a possessive adjective, and fox cunning - relative (does not belong to a fox, but like a fox)
• bitter medicine is a quality adjective, and bitter truth is relative (corresponding to bitterness)
• light bag is a quality adjective, and light life is relative (corresponding to ease)

§4. Full and short forms of quality adjectives

Qualitative adjectives have both forms: both full and short.
In full form, they are inclined, i.e. change by numbers, by gender (in singular) and by cases. Full adjectives in a sentence can be an attribute or part of a compound nominal predicate.

Late at night they left the house.

Late is a quality adjective, positive. degree, complete, in the form of singular, f.r., tv.p.

In the short form, adjectives are not declined. They do not change by case. Short adjectives change by number and gender (singular). Short forms of adjectives in a sentence are usually part of a compound nominal predicate.

The girl is sick.

Sick - a quality adjective, put. degree, short form, singular, female In the modern language, as definitions, short adjectives are found in stable lexical combinations, for example: a beautiful girl, in broad daylight.

Do not be surprised:

Some quality adjectives in modern language have only short forms, for example: glad, must, much.

Relative and possessive adjectives have only the full form. Please note: for possessive adjectives with the suffix -in- in im.p. coinciding with it form v.p. ending - as in short forms.

§5. Degrees of comparison

Qualitative adjectives have degrees of comparison. This is how the language expresses that signs can have a greater or lesser degree. Tea can be sweet to a greater or lesser extent, right? And the language conveys this content.
The degrees of comparison thus convey the idea of ​​comparison. They do it systematically. Three degrees: positive, comparative, superlative.

• Positive - this means that the trait is expressed without assessing the degree: high, cheerful, warm.
• Comparative determines a greater or lesser degree: higher, more cheerful, warmer, higher, more cheerful, warmer, less high, less cheerful, less warm.
• Superlative expresses the greatest or least degree: the highest, the most cheerful, the warmest, the highest, the most cheerful, the warmest.

It can be seen from the examples that the degrees of comparison are expressed in different ways. In comparative and superlative degrees, the meaning is transmitted either with the help of suffixes: higher, more fun, highest, funniest, or with the help of words: more, less, most. Therefore, comparative and superlative degrees of comparison can be expressed:

• simple forms: higher, highest,
• compound forms: higher, less high, highest.

Among the simple forms in Russian, as well as in other languages, for example, in English, there are forms formed from a different stem.

• good, bad - positive degree
• better, worse - comparative degree
• best, worst - superlative

Words in simple and complex comparative and superlative degrees change in different ways:

• Comparative degree (simple): above, below - does not change.
• Comparative degree (complex): lower, lower, lower - the adjective itself changes, the change is possible by cases, numbers, and in the singular - by gender.
• Superlative degree (simple): highest, highest, highest - varies by cases, numbers, and in the singular - by gender, i.e. as in a positive way.
• Superlative degree (complex): the highest, the highest, the highest - both words change by cases, numbers, and in the singular - by gender, i.e. as in a positive way.

Adjectives in a simple comparative form in a sentence are part of the predicate:

Anna and Ivan are brother and sister. Anna is older than Ivan. She used to be taller, but now Ivan is taller.

The remaining forms of comparison are both in the role of a definition and in the role of a predicate:

I approached the older guys.
The guys were older than I thought.
I turned to the older guys.
These guys are the oldest of those who are engaged in the circle.
