Why do adjectives change. Changing adjectives by numbers. Plural adjectives. Transition of adjectives from one category to another

Adjective is an independent significant part of speech that combines words that

1) indicate the sign of the subject and answer questions what?, whose?;

2) change by gender, number and case, and some - by completeness / brevity and degrees of comparison;

3) in a sentence there are definitions or a nominal part of a compound nominal predicate.

Ranks of adjectives by meaning

Three categories of adjectives are distinguished by meaning:qualitative, relative, possessive.

quality adjectives denote the quality, property of an object: its size (little ), shape (round ), Colour (white ), physical characteristics (warm ) , as well as the propensity of the object to perform an action (barbed ).

relative adjectives designate a sign of an object through the relation of this object to another object (book ), action (reading room ) or another feature (yesterday's ). Relative adjectives are formed from nouns, verbs, and adverbs; the most common suffixes for relative adjectives are the suffixes -n - ( forest ), - ov - ( hedgehog ), - in - ( poplar-in-th ), - ck - ( warehouse ), - l - ( fluent ).

Possessive adjectives denote the belonging of an object to a person or animal and are formed from nouns by suffixes -in - ( mum-in ), - ov - ( fathers ), - uy - ( fox ). These suffixes are at the end of the stem of the adjective (cf. possessive adjectivefathers and relative adjectivepaternal ).

quality adjectives differ from relative and possessive at all language levels:

1) only qualitative adjectives denote a feature that can manifest itself to a greater or lesser extent;

2) quality adjectives can have antonyms (quiet - loud );

3) only qualitative adjectives can be non-derivative, relative and possessive ones are always derived from nouns, adjectives, verbs;

4) qualitative adjectives form nouns with the meaning of an abstract attribute (rigor ) and adverbs in -o (strictly ), as well as adjectives with a subjective assessment suffix (blue-enky-y, evil-yushch-y) ;

5) only qualitative adjectives have a full / short form and degrees of comparison;

6) qualitative adjectives are combined with adverbs of measure and degree (very cheerful ).

Declension of adjectives

Adjectives of all ranks have inconstant signs of gender (in the singular), number and case, in which they agree with the noun. Adjectives also agree with the noun in animation if the noun is in the form of V. p. plural, and for the masculine - and singular (cf .: I seebeautiful shoes and I see beautiful girls ).

Changing an adjective by gender, number and case is called adjective declension.

Qualitative adjectives that stand in a short form (expressions on bare feet, in broad daylight are phraseologized and do not reflect the current state of the language), as well as qualitative adjectives that stand in a simple comparative and a compound superlative degree built on its basis (higher, higher than all) .

The Russian language hasindeclinable adjectives , which stand for:

1) colors:beige , khaki , marengo , electrician ;

2) nationalities and languages:Khanty , Mansi , urdu ;

3) clothing styles:pleated , corrugation , flare , mini .

Invariable adjectives are also words (weight)gross , net , (hour)peak .

Their grammatical features are their immutability, adjacency to a noun, location after, and not before, a noun. The immutability of these adjectives is their constant feature.

Degrees of comparison of adjectives

Qualitative adjectives have a non-constant morphological sign of degrees of comparison.

School grammar indicates that there are two degrees of comparison -comparative and superlative .

Comparative the degree of the adjective indicates that the feature is manifested to a greater / lesser extent in this subject compared to another subject (Vanya is taller than Kolya; This river is deeper than the other ) or the same item in other circumstances (Vanya is taller than he was last year; The river is deeper here than there ).

The comparative degree issimple and compound .

Simple comparative degree denotes a greater degree of manifestation of the attribute and is formed from the basis of adjectives with the help of suffixes -her(s), -e, -she/-same ( quicker, higher, earlier, deeper ).

The simple form of the comparative degree of some adjectives is formed from a different stem:pl about hoi - worse , good - it is better .

Sometimes, when forming a simple comparative degree, a prefix can be attachedon- ( newer ) .

Morphological features of a simple comparative degree are uncharacteristic of an adjective. This is:

1) immutability,

2) the ability to control a noun,

3) use mainly in the function of the predicate (He is taller than his father ). A simple comparative degree can occupy the position of definition only in a separate position (Much taller than the other students, he seemed almost an adult ) or in non-isolated position with the prefix po- in position after a noun (Buy me fresher newspapers ).

Composite comparative degree denotes both a greater and a lesser degree of manifestation of a trait and is formed as follows:

more/less element + adjective (more / less tall ).

The difference between a composite comparative degree and a simple one is as follows:

1) the composite comparative degree is wider in meaning, since it denotes not only a greater, but also a lesser degree of manifestation of a feature;

2) the composite comparative degree changes in the same way as the positive degree of comparison (initial form), i.e. by gender, number and case, and can also be in short form (more handsome );

3) a composite comparative degree can be both a predicate and a non-isolated and isolated definition (Less interesting article was presented in this magazine . This article is less interesting than the previous one. )

excellent the degree of comparison indicates the largest / smallest degree of manifestation of the trait (the highest mountain) or a very large / small degree of manifestation of the trait (the kindest person).

The superlative degree of comparison, like the comparative one, can be simple and compound.

Simple superlative adjective denotes the highest degree of manifestation of the attribute and is formed from the omnibus of the adjective with the help of suffixes -eysh- / -aysh- (after k, z, x, causing alternation):good-eysh-th, high-aysh-th.

When forming a simple superlative degree of comparison, the prefix can be usednai -: kindest .

The morphological features of a simple superlative degree of comparison of adjectives are the same as those of an adjective, i.e., variability by gender, number, cases, the use of a definition and a predicate in the syntactic function. The simple superlative adjective does not have a short form.

Compound superlative adjectives denotes both the greatest and the least degree of manifestation of the trait and is formed in three ways:

1) adding a wordmost the smartest );

2) adding a wordmost/least to the initial form of the adjective (most/least smart );

3) adding a wordall orTotal to comparative degree (He was smarter than everyone ).

Compound superlative forms formed by the first and second methods have morphological features characteristic of adjectives, i.e. they change by gender, number and case, they can have a short form (most convenient ), act both as a definition and as a nominal part of the predicate. Compound superlative forms formed in the third way are invariable and act mainly as a nominal part of the predicate.

Not all qualitative adjectives have degrees of comparison, and the absence of simple forms of degrees of comparison is observed more often than the absence of compound forms.

Completeness / brevity of adjectives

Qualitative adjectives have a full and a short form.

The short form is formed by adding a positive degree of endings to the stem: null ending for the masculine -a for women, -about / -e for the average -s / -and for plural (deep- , deep-a , deep-about , deep-and ) .

A short form is not formed from quality adjectives that:

1) have suffixes characteristic of relative adjectives -sk-, -ov- / -ev-, -n- : brown , coffee , brotherly ;

2) denote the colors of animals:brown , crow ;

3) have suffixes of subjective assessment:tall , little blue .

The short form has grammatical differences from the full form: it does not change by case, in the sentence it appears mainly as a nominal part of the predicate; the short form acts as a definition only in a separate syntactic position (Angry at the whole world, he almost stopped leaving the house).

In the position of the predicate, the meaning of the full and short forms usually coincides, but some adjectives may have the following semantic differences between them:

1) the short form denotes an excessive manifestation of a trait with a negative assessment, cf..: skirt short - skirt short ;

2) the short form denotes a temporary sign, the full one - permanent, cf.:child is ill - child sick .

There are such qualitative adjectives that have only a short form:glad , much , should .

Transition of adjectives from category to category

It is possible for an adjective to have several meanings related to different categories. In school grammar, this is called "the transition of an adjective from category to category." So, a relative adjective can develop a meaning characteristic of qualitative ones (for example:iron detail (relative) -iron will (kach.) - metaphorical transfer). Possessives may have meanings characteristic of relative and qualitative ones (for example:Foxy burrow (possessive)- fox a cap (relative) -fox habits (kach.).

Morphological analysis of the adjective

Morphological analysis of the adjective is carried out according to the following plan:

I. Part of speech. General value. Initial form (nominative singular masculine).

II. Morphological features.
1. Constant signs: rank by value (qualitative, relative or possessive) 2. Non-permanent signs: 1) for quality adjectives: a) degree of comparison (comparative, superlative), b) full or short form; 2) for all adjectives: a) case, b) number, c) gender
III. syntactic role.

An example of morphological parsing of an adjective.

And for sure, she was good: tall, thin, her eyes are black, like those of a mountain chamois, and looked into your soul (M. Yu. Lermontov).

1. Good (what?) - adjective,

initial form is good.

    2. Constant signs: qualitative, short;

non-permanent features: units. number, female genus.

    3. She (was what?)good (part of the predicate).

1. High (what?) - adjective,

    initial form - high.

Variable signs: complete, positive degree of comparison, units. number, female genus, I. p ..

3. She (was what?) high (part of the predicate).

    1. Thin - adjective,

the initial form is thin.

    2. Permanent signs: high-quality, complete;

non-permanent signs: positive degree of comparison, units. number, female genus, I. p.

    3. She (was what?) thin(part of the predicate).

1. black - adjective

    initial form is black.

2. Constant features: quality;

non-permanent signs: complete, positive degree of comparison, pl. number, I. p..

3. Eyes (what?) black (predicate).

In Russian, only full forms of adjectives can be declined according to cases. To determine the case of this part of speech, there are a number of rules that are described in detail in our article. In addition, it contains a table with examples, which indicates all the features of the declension for cases of full adjectives.

How to determine the case of an adjective?

In Russian, the full forms of adjectives change according to cases, genders and numbers and have a special system of case endings. Short adjectives are not declined by case.

To determine the case of an adjective, you must perform a few easy steps:

  • Determine with which noun the adjective agrees, and in which case this noun is used (the case of the adjective will be the same);
  • Select the case ending in the adjective and find it in the table of case endings for adjectives (having previously determined the gender and number of the adjective).
  • The endings in the nominative and accusative, as well as in the accusative and genitive cases of masculine singular and plural adjectives may coincide. Therefore, when determining their case, it is worth considering the sign of animateness / inanimateness of the noun with which the adjective agrees (examples: read an interesting novel(inanimate, V. p.), meet an interesting person(soul., V. p.)).

How do adjectives change by case?

Adjective

The adjective is an independent significant part of speech that combines words that

1) indicate a non-procedural feature of the subject and answer questions which?, whose?;

2) change by gender, number and case, and some - by completeness / brevity and degrees of comparison;

3) in a sentence there are definitions or a nominal part of a compound nominal predicate.

Ranks of adjectives by meaning

Three categories of adjectives are distinguished by meaning: qualitative, relative, possessive.

quality adjectives denote the quality, property of an object: its size ( large), shape ( round), Colour ( blue), physical characteristics ( cold), as well as the propensity of the object to perform an action ( talkative).

relative adjectives designate a sign of an object through the relation of this object to another object ( book), action ( reading room) or another feature ( yesterday's). Relative adjectives are formed from nouns, verbs, and adverbs; the most common suffixes for relative adjectives are the suffixes - n- (forest), -ov- (hedgehog), -in- (poplar-in-th), -ck- (warehouse), -l- (fluent).

Possessive adjectives denote the belonging of an object to a person or animal and are formed from nouns by suffixes - in- (mum-in), -ov- (father-ov), -uy- (fox). These suffixes are at the end of the stem of the adjective (cf. possessive adjective fathers and relative adjective paternal).

Qualitative adjectives differ from relative and possessive adjectives at all language levels:

1) only qualitative adjectives denote a feature that can manifest itself to a greater or lesser extent;

2) quality adjectives can have antonyms ( deep - shallow);

3) only qualitative adjectives can be non-derivative, relative and possessive ones are always derived from nouns, adjectives, verbs;

4) qualitative adjectives form nouns with the meaning of an abstract attribute ( rigor) and adverbs in - about(strictly), as well as adjectives with a subjective assessment suffix ( blue-yenky-y, evil-yushch-y);

5) only qualitative adjectives have a full / short form and degrees of comparison;

6) qualitative adjectives are combined with adverbs of measure and degree ( very big, but not * very readable).

Thus, we see that qualitative adjectives are grammatically opposed to relative and possessive adjectives, which, in turn, are grammatically very similar. The difference between relative and possessive adjectives is manifested only in the type of their declension (see declension of adjectives), which gives reason to many researchers to combine them into one group of relative adjectives, which, with sequential grammatical selection of parts of speech, also includes ordinal numerals and pronominal adjectives.

Declension of adjectives

Adjectives of all ranks have non-permanent signs kind(singular) numbers and case in which they agree with the noun. Adjectives also agree with the noun in animation if the noun is in the form of V. p. plural, and for the masculine - and singular (cf .: I see beautiful shoes and I see beautiful girls) - see the animation of the noun.

Changing an adjective by gender, number and case is called adjective declension.

quality and relative adjectives decline the same way. This type of declension is called adjective.

In Russian, there are indeclinable adjectives that mean:

1) colors: beige, khaki, marengo, electric;

2) nationalities and languages: Khanty, Mansi, Urdu;

3) clothing styles: pleated, corrugated, flared, mini.

Invariable adjectives are also words (weight) gross, net, (hour) peak.

Degrees of comparison of adjectives

Qualitative adjectives have a non-constant morphological sign of degrees of comparison.

School grammar indicates that there are two degrees of comparison - comparative and superlative. It is more correct to single out three degrees of comparison - positive, comparative and excellent. The positive degree of comparison is the original form of the adjective, in relation to which we are aware of other forms as expressing a greater / lesser or greater / lesser degree of attribute.

comparative adjective indicates that the feature is manifested to a greater / lesser extent in this subject compared to another subject ( Petya is taller than Vasya; This river is deeper than the other) or the same item in other circumstances ( Petya is taller than he was last year; The river is deeper here than there.).

The comparative degree can be simple and compound.

Simple comparative degree denotes a greater degree of manifestation of the trait and is formed as follows:

base of positive degree + formative suffixes -her(s), -e, -she/-same (quicker, higher, earlier, deeper).

If there is an element at the end of the base of a positive degree to /OK, this segment is often truncated: deep - deep.

Some adjectives have suppletive, i.e., formed from another stem, forms: bad - worse, good - better.

When forming a simple comparative degree, a prefix can be attached on- (newer). Simple comparative degree with a prefix on- is used if the adjective occupies the position of an inconsistent definition ( Give me a new newspaper) and does not require the introduction into the sentence of what the given feature is compared with. If there is in the sentence both what is being compared and what is being compared, the prefix on- introduces a colloquial tone ( These shoes are newer than those).

Morphological features of a simple comparative degree are uncharacteristic of an adjective. This is

1) immutability,

2) the ability to control a noun,

3) use mainly in the function of the predicate ( He is taller than his father). A simple comparative degree can occupy the position of definition only in a separate position ( Much taller than the other students, he seemed almost an adult) or in a non-isolated position with a prefix on- in position after a noun ( Buy me fresher newspapers).

Composite comparative degree denotes both a greater and a lesser degree of manifestation of a trait and is formed as follows:

element more / less + positive degree ( more / less high).

The difference between a composite comparative degree and a simple one is as follows:

1) the composite comparative degree is wider in meaning, since it denotes not only a greater, but also a lesser degree of manifestation of a feature;

2) the composite comparative degree changes in the same way as the positive degree of comparison (initial form), i.e. by gender, number and case, and can also be in short form ( more handsome);

3) a composite comparative degree can be both a predicate and a non-isolated and isolated definition ( A less interesting article was presented in this journal. This article is less interesting than the previous one..)

Superlatives comparison indicates the largest / smallest degree of manifestation of the trait ( highest mountain) or to a very large / small degree of manifestation of the trait ( kindest person).

The superlative degree of comparison, like the comparative one, can be simple and compound.

simple superlatives Comparison adjective denotes the highest degree of manifestation of the attribute and is formed as follows:

basis of positive degree + formative suffixes -aysh- / -aysh-(after k, g, x, causing alternation): good-eysh-th, Supreme

When forming a simple superlative degree of comparison, the prefix can be used nai-: kindest.

The morphological features of a simple superlative degree of comparison of adjectives are the same as those of a positive degree, i.e., variability in gender, number, cases, the use of a definition and a predicate in the syntactic function. Unlike the positive degree, the simple superlative adjective does not have a short form.

Compound Superlative comparison of adjectives denotes both the greatest and the least degree of manifestation of a feature and is formed in three ways:

1) element the most + positive degree ( the smartest);

2) element most / least+ positive degree ( most/least smart);

3) simple comparative degree + element total / all (He was smarter than everyone).

The forms of the compound superlative degree, formed by the first and second methods, have morphological features characteristic of a positive degree, i.e. they change according to gender, numbers and cases, they can have a short form ( most convenient), act both as a definition and as a nominal part of the predicate. Compound superlative forms formed in the third way are invariable and act mainly as a nominal part of the predicate.

Not all qualitative adjectives have degrees of comparison, and the absence of simple forms of degrees of comparison is observed more often than the absence of compound forms.

The absence of a simple comparative and superlative degree may be due to

1) with the formal structure of the adjective: if the adjective has a suffix that matches the suffixes of relative adjectives, it may not have a simple comparative degree ( emaciated - * thinner, * thinner, advanced - * more advanced);

2) with the lexical meaning of the adjective: the meaning of the degree of manifestation of the attribute can already be expressed in the basis of the adjective - in its root ( barefoot - *barefoot) or in suffix ( fat-enn-th - * thicker, evil-shinning - * furious, white-oval - * whitish, blue-enk-th - * bluer).

Compound forms of degrees of comparison are not formed only for words with a semantic restriction, that is, in the second case. Yes, no forms. *more feisty, *less whitish, but there are forms less emaciated, more advanced.

Let's open the secret of endings -s, ie. To do this, you need to determine what sound the stem of the adjective ends with. A stem is a part of a word without an ending.

Roads are happy, sad,

Now near, now far,

Both light and torn,

Winding, mountainous.(S. Mikhalkov)

(Tornye means smooth, even)

In words funny, sad, torny, winding, mountainous the base ends with a solid sound l, n, t.

In words near, far, light stem ends in a soft consonant n", to" .

If the stem of an adjective ends in a hard sound, the ending is written: ы.

If the base ends in a soft sound, the ending is different: ie.

There are exceptions. Find them in riddles.

Fresh, green in the garden in summer, and salted in a barrel in winter.(Cucumbers)

When she looks into the garden

The grapes will become transparent

Big apples are redder

And late pears are tastier.(Autumn) (I. Kulskaya)

Fresh, large, green, salty - the stem ends in a solid consonant, but write zhi-shi with the letter I, so the ending is written -e.

Late - the stem ends in a soft consonant, the ending is -e. Another spelling is an unpronounceable consonant sound, a test word to be late.

Let's choose adjectives and write them down by following the commands of nouns.

Paradise birds.

Feathers of birds ..., .... , …., ….. In form they are…. : some - ..., others - .... with tassels on the wings, others - .... Legs …. and ...., because they live in trees. …. birds!

Information desk: yellow, orange, green, black, unusual, wide, narrow, fluffy, strong, tenacious, fabulous. (See Fig. 2)

Paradise birds.

Bird feathers (what?) Yellow, orange, green, black. They are (what?) Unusual in shape: some are wide, others are narrow with tassels on the wings, others are fluffy. Legs (what?) Strong and tenacious, because they live in trees. Fairy birds!

People, admiring the beauty of birds of paradise, are often surprised by their croaking. And there is nothing surprising: these birds are close relatives of our common crow.

What nouns can be used with an adjective delicious?

vermicelli

orange

Delicious oranges, zucchini, sweets, cucumbers, pies, salads.

The nouns from the first column do not change in numbers. Nouns bread, butter, milk, jam, chocolate, vermicelli have the singular form.

Jokers.

Far away ... times in Russia lived merrily ... people are funny people. Holidays, folk ... festivities could not do without these people. Buffoons staged puppet shows right on the streets. Friendly ... gangs could be seen in villages and cities. The mercenaries carried balls of various colors ... and boxes of carnage ..., next to them were mummers ... goats and bears on chains. The musicians carried their musical instruments.(According to I. Nikitina)

What times? distant, th, what kind of people? funny, th, festivities what? folk, th, representations what? puppet, th, gangs (these are noisy crowds) what? friendly, th, what kind of balls? multi-colored, th, boxes what? carved, th, what kind of goats? mummers, th, what instruments? musical.

Matryoshka.

Matryoshka is a (wooden) doll. (Russian) craftsmen endowed nesting dolls with beauty. Matryoshka has a (ruddy) face, (blue) eyes, (scarlet) lips, (sable) eyebrows. The (smart) shawl and (bright) dress complete the beauty of the toy. (Russian) matryoshka is the (best) gift.

What is the doll (she)? wooden, unit, w.w.

What are the masters? Russians, pl.

What is the person(s)? ruddy, single, cf.

What are the eyes? blue, pl.

What sponges? scarlet, pl.

Eyebrows what? sable, pl.

Shawl (she) what? elegant, singular, female

What is the dress (it)? bright, singular, cf.

Matryoshka (she) what? Russian, singular, female

What gift (is it)? best, singular, m.

Matryoshka.

Matryoshka is a wooden doll. Russian craftsmen endowed nesting dolls with beauty. Matryoshka has a ruddy face, blue eyes, scarlet lips, sable eyebrows. An elegant shawl and bright dress complement the beauty of the toy. Russian matryoshka is the best gift.

Put the adjectives in the correct form. Determine the number of adjectives and gender in the singular.

Tundra in summer.

The summer tundra is multicolored. On the melt water is motley ... birds. There are bright flowers on the bumps. Lazily lie full ... deer. Their branching ... horns at a golden sunset are like a fabulous ... bone forest. And all around is endless ... silence.(According to N. Sladkov)

Tundra in summer.

The summer (what?) tundra is multicolored (zh.r.s.ch.). There are colorful (what?) birds (plural) on the melt water. There are bright (what?) flowers on the bumps (pl.). Well-fed (what?) deer lie lazily (plural). Their branched (what?) horns (pl.) at the golden sunset are like a fabulous (what?) bone forest (m.s.s.). And around the endless (what?) Silence. (zh.r.s.ch.) (According to N. Sladkov)

In the lesson, you learned that an adjective in the plural always has the same command - which ones? The adjective, obeying this command, is used in the plural. For adjectives in the plural, the gender does not differ, since the endings are always the same: -s or ie.
