Nouns that take the form of adjectives. Full and short form of adjectives

Words denoting the characteristics of an object and answering the questions “which?” and “whose?” in Russian they 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, an adjective cannot exist at all. Otherwise, it loses the meaning of its presence in a sentence and can even turn into a noun itself (cf.: blind(Which?) old man– adj. and sat (who?) blind– noun).

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

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

1. find the noun it refers to (attached);
   
2. put a question from a qualified noun to an adjective. The end of the question will indicate the correct ending for the adjective; For the most part, they are consonant: weather(which?) warm; morning(which?) sunny; songs(which?) quiet; growth(which one?) high; branches(which ones?) thin);
   
3. At the same time, we must remember that the question “which one?” it is impossible to check the endings of adjectives of the initial form (adjectives in m. r. singular. h. I./V. p.).
   In these cases:
   • the ending is written under the accent -Ouch (pencil(m. r. unit h. I. p.) (which one?) color);
     
   • without accent - -y/y (pencil(Which?) sharp, blue).
     
   In addition to those mentioned, adjectives also have other variable features:
   • degree of comparison;
     
   • full or short form.
     

Both of them are valid only for qualitative adjectives!

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

1. High quality. They answer the question “which one?” And indicate the quality of objects: color ( yellow Red), size ( big, small), weight ( heavy, small), character traits ( funny, gloomy), age ( young, old), taste qualities (bitter, sour). You can easily find antonyms for most of them ( big – small, sharp – dull) or synonyms ( big – large, huge, enormous);
   
2. Relative. They also answer the question “which one?”, but define an object in relation to another object: its location ( street flashlight, school yard), material ( paper snake, silk tape), purpose ( ski costume, shoe brush), relation to time ( evening cool, early dinner);
   
3. Possessive. The only ones answer the question “whose?”, since characterize an object by its belonging to any living creature (mom'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).
  

The strengthening of the attribute, as can be seen from the example, is increasing: from the initial, positive, it takes the form of comparative and superlative degrees; which can be expressed in different ways:

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

All adjectives are declined by case, number and gender (in singular). And only high-quality ones have exceptions.

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

Other qualitative adjectives are declined in the same way as relative adjectives. Depending on the last consonant at the base, their endings can be hard or soft ( -a-i, -o-e, -u-yu, -s-i).

Also, adjectives agree with the noun in animation if the noun is in the V. plural form. h., and for the masculine gender - in units. hours (cf.: I see beautiful ones(what?) shoes and I see handsome ones(which?) girls).

Possessive adjectives are inflected differently. Their type of declination is called mixed. The set of endings there is special. They won't necessarily be in tune. Moreover, in the declension of adjectives with the suffix -iii- and adjectives with suffixes -yn-/-in- or -ov-/-ev- there are some differences.

For possessive adjectives with a suffix -iii- must be written in the middle of the word soft sign (dog, sable, mustelid, fox...); in all forms except the initial one (m.r. unit h. I./V. p.), in it the endings will be zero ( hare_, fox_, cat_, sable_).

The categories of adjectives do not have clear boundaries, which allows them to move from one to another. Such changes depend on the context, typically when used in figurative meanings. So possessive adjective fox(whose?) Nora becomes relative in case fox(which one? 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 kind? 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 unchangeable and are always placed after the noun ( beige jackets, flared skirt).

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

Thanks to this amazing part of speech, the language gains expressiveness and brightness; without it, our speech would not be so colorful and rich. defines an object by its characteristics and affiliation. They ask him questions: “Which one?” which? which? which ones?”, and it also answers the questions “whose?” whose? whose? whose?"

The secret is depending

In a sentence, an adjective is usually associated with nouns and pronouns. This part of speech is always dependent on them. This connection will tell us how to determine the case. Cases in Russian: nominative, followed by genitive, then dative, followed by accusative, then instrumental, and then prepositional. It is easy to find out the endings of adjectives by case if you ask them a question from the part of speech on which they depend. Usually the ending that appears in the question is the same as that of the adjective.

Things to consider

Changing adjectives by case depends on the number and gender of this part of speech. And here you need to remember two things. Firstly, adjectives can be changed by gender only when they are in the singular. Secondly, they can be changed by numbers. Let's look at both theses with examples.

masculine, feminine and neuter

Let’s take the phrase “noun + adjective in the singular” and see how the ending of the adjective changes in different genders. The gender of an adjective always has the same gender as the noun to which it refers.

1. The endings of adjectives in the masculine gender: -oy, -y, -y. Here's an example: a person (what?) is businesslike, smart, sensitive.
2. Finish adj. in the feminine gender: -aya, -aya. For example, clothes (what?) are spacious and summer.
3. Finish adj. in the neuter gender: -oe, -ee. For example, a plant (what?) is tall and perennial.

Endings of adjectives in different numbers

Adjectives vary freely in numbers. In the singular, they denote a characteristic of one object or group of objects and answer the questions “which, which, which?” For example: smart question, wide road, gentle sun, cheerful team, large gathering, noisy crowd.

In names, adjectives denote many objects, answering the question “which?” For example: big hopes, small disappointments. As you can see, the number of an adjective depends on the number of the noun with which it is associated.

Spelling unstressed endings in adjectives

To determine this moment, you can follow a simple algorithm. First you need to ask a question from a noun to an adjective.

If the question is “which?”, you need to check whether the ending is stressed. If yes, then we write -oh, if not, then we write -y(s).

If a question from a noun sounds like “whose?”, then you should write -y at the end

If you can only ask questions from a noun to an adjective, then you should write the same ending that sounds in the question (taking into account the hard and soft declension). Let's consider the last statement in more detail.

Changing adjectives by case

Let us now get acquainted with the peculiarities of declension of adjectives by case. This information will help you figure out how to determine the case of an adjective in each specific case.

First group

These are singular adjectives that are feminine. They tend like this:

• Nominative case: plum (what kind?) - ripe, early. Finish adjectives: -aya, -aya.
• Genitive case: plum (which one?) - ripe, early. Finish adjectives: -oh, -ey.
• Dative case: plum (which one?) - ripe, early. Finish adjectives: -oh, -ey.
• Accusative case: plum (which one?) - ripe, early. Finish adjectives: -yu, -yu.
• Instrumental case: plum (what kind?) ripe, early. Finish adjectives: -oh, -ey.
• Prepositional case: about a plum (which one?) ripe, early. Finish adjectives: -oh, -ey.

Note that the endings of adjectives coincide in four cases: genitive, dative, instrumental, prepositional.

Second group

These are singular adjectives that are masculine. They tend like this:

• Nominative case: ball (what?) big, rubber, blue. Endings of adjectives: -ой, -й, -й.
• Genitive case: ball (what?) large, rubber, blue. Finish adjectives: -ogo, -him.
• Dative case: ball (what?) big, rubber, blue. Finish adjectives: -mu, -him.
• To determine the ending of an adjective in the accusative case, you must first find out whether it refers to an animate or inanimate noun. In our example, adjectives refer to an inanimate noun that answers the question “what?” Then the question for the adjective will sound like this: the ball (what?) is large, rubber, blue. The endings of adjectives for inanimate nouns: -ой, -й, -й. But if the noun is animate, in the accusative case the question “whom?” should be asked. Accordingly, the form of the adjective will change. For example, a father (what kind?) is strict and loving. The endings of adjectives with an animate noun: -ogo, -him.
• Instrumental case: with a (what kind of) ball, large, rubber, blue. Finish adjectives: -ym, -im.
• Prepositional case: about a ball (what?) big, rubber, blue. Finish adjectives: -om, -em.

Third group

These are singular adjectives in the neuter gender. They bow like this.

• Nominative case: morning (what?) sunny, summer. Adjective endings: -oe, -ee.
• Genitive case: morning (what?) sunny, summer. Finish adjectives: -ogo, -him.
• Dative case: morning (what?) sunny, summer. Finish adjectives: -mu, -him.
• Accusative case: morning (what?) sunny, summer. Finish adjectives: -oe, -ee.
• Instrumental case: in the morning (what?) sunny, summer. Finish adjectives: -ym, -im.
• Prepositional case: about (what?) sunny, summer morning. Finish adjectives: -om, -em.

Here we see that in all three groups the answer to the question of how to determine the case of an adjective comes down to one thing - it is recognized by the case of the noun on which the adjective depends.

Fourth group

These are adjectives that are in plural. Let's say the following about them:

• Nominative case: flowers (what?) yellow, autumn. Endings of adjectives: -е, -и.
• Genitive case: flowers (what?) yellow, autumn. Finish adjectives: -y, -them.
• Dative case: flowers (what?) yellow, autumn. Finish adjectives: -ym, -im.
• Accusative case: adjectives referring to inanimate nouns are declined according to the principle of the nominative case: flowers (what?) yellow, autumn. Endings: -е, -е. Adjectives related to animate nouns are inflected according to the principle genitive case: relatives (what?) cheerful, close. Endings: -ы, -их.
• Instrumental case: flowers (what?) yellow, autumn. Finish adjectives: -y, -imi.
• Prepositional case: about (what kind of) yellow, autumn flowers. Finish adjectives: -y, -them.

Note that in this group the adjectives have similar endings in the genitive, accusative (if they refer to animate nouns), and prepositional cases.

Determining the case of an adjective: sequence of actions

1. Let's write the adjective on a piece of paper.
2. Let's highlight the ending in it.
3. Let's determine what gender and number the adjective is in.
4. Let us choose which of the four groups described above this word belongs to.
5. Let's determine the case of the adjective by ending.
6. If in doubt, let’s pay attention to the noun on which our word depends, ask a question about it and use it to determine the case of the adjective, since it has the same ending.

If it is difficult to figure out whether a noun (and its dependent adjective) is used in the nominative or accusative case, you should look at it. If a noun in a sentence acts as the subject, then it has a nominative case. The cases of adjectives will be the same. If the noun is minor member sentence, then it is used in the accusative case. Therefore, adjectives will have the same case.

We looked at how to determine the case of an adjective and made sure that it is not at all difficult.

Qualitative adjectives have a constant feature - they have full and short forms. This article describes in detail the types of relationships between the two forms and provides illustrative examples for securing the material.

What are the forms of adjectives?

In the Russian language, there are full and short forms of adjectives. This grammatical feature is constant and is characteristic only of qualitative adjectives:

• Full adjectives– attributive, inflected forms (change according to gender, number, cases), neutral in meaning. In sentences they are most often used as a definition. Examples full adjectives: dry, cold, red, neat.
• Short adjectives– predicative, indeclinable forms (change only by gender and number, not indeclinable by cases), differ in book meaning. Sentences usually include nominal predicate. Examples of short adjectives: distant, young, white, meek.

Complete and short adjectives are studied at school in the 5th grade.

Types of relationships between full and short forms of adjectives

Not all words of a given part of speech have full and short forms of adjectives. Based on the presence (or absence) of this grammatical feature, adjectives are divided into three groups:

• Adjectives that have both full and short forms (good - good, cheerful - cheerful, fresh - fresh, smart - smart). Short forms are formed by adding endings to the adjective stem -a (s), -o (s), -s (s) And zero (cute - sweet, strong - strong).
• Adjectives that have only the full form. These include – adjectives with evaluation suffixes (tall, green), qualitative adjectives formed from relative (coffee, brown, milk) naming the colors of animals (bay, brown) and non-derivative adjectives (alien, former).
• Adjectives that have only a short form (too small, necessary, much, dear).

Let's reveal the secret of the ending options -y, ee. 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 thick,

Winding, mountainous.(S. Mikhalkov)

(Tough means smooth, even)

In words funny, sad, rough, winding, mountainous the stem ends with a hard sound l, n, T.

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

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

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

There are exception words. Let's find them in riddles.

In the summer they are fresh and green in the garden, and in the winter they are salted in a barrel.(Cucumbers)

When she looks into the garden,

The grapes will become more transparent,

Big apples are redder

And late pears taste better.(Autumn) (I. Kulskaya)

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

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

Let's select adjectives and write them down, following the commands for nouns.

Birds of paradise.

Bird feathers…,…. , …., ….. In shape they are…. : some - ..., others - .... with tassels on the wings, the third - .... Legs …. and..., because they live in trees. …. birds!

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

Birds of paradise.

Bird feathers (what?) are yellow, orange, green, black. They are (what?) unusual in shape: some are wide, others are narrow with tassels on the wings, and others are fluffy. Legs (what kind?) are strong and tenacious, because they live in trees. Fairytale birds!

People admiring the beauty birds of paradise, are often surprised by their croaking. But 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, candies, cucumbers, pies, salads.

Nouns from the first column do not change by number. Nouns bread, butter, milk, jam, chocolate, vermicelli have a singular form.

And there is endless (what?) silence all around. (l.r.ed.h.) (According to N. Sladkov)

During the lesson, you learned that a plural adjective always has the same command - which ones? The adjective, obeying this command, is used in the plural. Adjectives in the plural do not differ in gender, since the endings are always the same: -y or ee.

Adjective categories

Discharge is the only constant morphological feature this part of speech. There are three categories of adjectives:

Most qualitative adjectives have a full and a short form. The full form changes according to cases, numbers and genders. Adjectives in short form vary according to number and gender. Short adjectives are not inflected; in a sentence they are used as predicates. Some adjectives are used only in a short form: much, glad, must, necessary. Some qualitative adjectives do not have a corresponding short form: adjectives with suffixes denoting a high degree of attribute, and adjectives that are part of terminological names (fast train, deep rear). Qualitative adjectives can be combined with the adverb very and have antonyms. Qualitative adjectives have comparative and superlative degrees of comparison. In form, each degree can be simple (consists of one word) or compound (consists of two words): the harder, the quietest.

• relative(answer the question “which one?”)
  • relative adjectives have no degrees; indicate the material from which the object is made, the spatial and temporal characteristics of the object: tree - wood, January - January, freezing - frosty;
  • most relative adjectives cannot be combined with the adverb “very”;

Relative adjectives denote a feature of an object that cannot be present in the object to a greater or lesser extent. Relative adjectives do not have a short form, degrees of comparison, do not combine with the adverb very, and do not have antonyms. Relative adjectives vary by case, number and gender (singular).

• possessive- answer the question “whose?” and denote belonging to something living or a person ( paternal, sisters, fox).

Possessive adjectives denote that something belongs to a person and answer the questions whose? whose? whose? whose? Possessive adjectives vary by case, number and gender (singular).

To assign an adjective to any category, it is enough to find at least one sign of this category in the adjective.

The boundaries of the lexico-grammatical categories of adjectives are flexible. Thus, possessive and relative adjectives can acquire a qualitative meaning: dog tail(possessive), dog pack(relative), dog life(quality).

Agreement of adjectives with nouns

Adjectives agree with the nouns they refer to in gender, number and case.

• Example: adjective "blue"
  • blue (Singular, m.r., Imp.) house (Singular, m.r., Imp.)
  • blue (singular, sr.r., im.p.) sky (singular, sr.r., im.p.).

Declension of adjectives.

Gender, case and number of the adjective depend on relevant characteristics noun with which it agrees. Indeclinable adjectives are usually in postposition in relation to the noun; their gender, number, and case are determined syntactically by the characteristics of the corresponding noun: red jacket, beige jackets.

• solid: red th, red Wow, red wow
• soft: syn th, syn his, syn to him
• mixed: great Ouch, more Wow, more them.

The declension of adjectives includes changes in numbers, and in the singular - also in cases and genders.

The form of an adjective depends on the noun to which the adjective refers and with which it agrees in gender, number and case.

Short adjectives change only by gender and number.

The masculine and neuter forms differ in the nominative and accusative cases, but are the same in other forms.

There are different forms of the accusative case of adjectives in the singular masculine and in the plural, referring to animate and inanimate nouns:

• V.p. = I.p. for inanimate nouns:
  • “For the violent raid he doomed their villages and fields to swords and fires” (A. Pushkin);
• V.p. = R.p. with animate nouns:
  • “Masha did not pay attention to the young Frenchman” (A. Pushkin);
  • “And the whole earth should praise forever ordinary people, to whom I would pour stars into medals for their victories” (V. Sysoev).

Masculine adjectives in -Ouch bow in the same way as on th, but always have stressed ending: grey, young - gray, young - gray, young - about gray, about the young.

The letter designation of the endings of adjectives in a number of cases sharply diverges from the sound composition: white - bel[ъвъ], letn-him - letn[въ].

Declension of qualitative and relative adjectives:

• solid declination;
• soft declination;
• mixed declension.

Hard declension of adjectives

Adjectives with a base on a hard consonant are inclined according to the hard type, except for G, K, X, C and hissing ones: thin, white, straight, dear, boring, stupid, gray, bald, cool, well-fed.

Formation of adjectives

Adjectives are most often formed in a suffixal way: swamp - swamp n y. Adjectives can also be formed by prefixes: Not big, and prefix-suffix ways: under water n y. Adjectives are also formed in a complex suffix way: flax O seed peeler identifiable. Adjectives can also be formed by combining two stems: pale pink, three-year-old.

Morphological analysis of the adjective

1. General grammatical meaning.
2. Initial form. The initial form of an adjective is the singular form, nominative case, masculine ( blue).
3. Constant signs: discharge.
4. Non-permanent features: used in short/long (only for high-quality ones); degree of comparison (only for high-quality ones); number, gender, case (blue - used in full form, singular)
5. syntactic role - definition

Transition to other parts of speech

Most often, participles become adjectives. Pronouns can also act as adjectives ( He's not much of an artist).

Adjectives, in turn, can be substantivized, that is, become nouns: Russian, military.
