Maybe if from our vocabulary suddenly disappeared adjectives that people are still able to communicate.Other parts of speech would be enough to express the primitive needs: need something, I want it!But without words, we describe the beauty and ugliness, love and sorrow, weakness and power, of language as such, it would not have existed.About
adjectives
called part of speech adjective describing a variety of symptoms, and answers the question "what?", "Whose?"(Respectively, the "what?", "Whose?" And so forth.).The adjective talks about such properties subject like color ( white, green ), smell or taste ( floral, salty, spicy ).Using adjectives characterize human ( good, nasty ), quality of the material ( brittle solid ).You can assess someone's activity ( good, bad ), to talk about mental abilities ( wise, stupid ).In other words, only the adjectives do our language precise and concise, giving it a wide variety of shades.
study of adjectives, their properties and characteristics of a large section devoted to grammar.Let us dwell on only one type of these parts of speech.Meet denominative adjectives!
About denominative formations
denominative formations are those that have occurred from the base of a noun or adjective (not the verb).There denominative verbs ( supper vrednichat ), there are even denominative prepositions ( consideration due, about ).But there can be denominative adjectives.Examples of such words formed from the noun: business-like, garden, full of holes, straw, ground, transcendental , as well as many others.We'll talk more about that.
Properties of adjectives
denominative adjectives - it is only a single view of the large family of these parts of speech.Therefore, the characteristics that apply to all adjectives apply in respect of denominative.Thus, the lexical value can be attributed to the 3rd group: the relative, possessive quality.
qualitative adjectives have reported various properties of objects, such as weight and dimensions ( small, lightweight ), color and appearance ( white, full ), age and character ( young, angry ) and so on. D.Relative adjectives also describe the signs of nouns, but indirectly, by their relation to other objects.The objects of such an attitude may make the material ( paper, iron ), place ( rural, urban ), time ( today, winter ), action ( cleaning, repair ), concept ( Mathematics ),number ( double ) and so forth. Possessive adjectives characterize belong to anyone, they answer the question "whose?"("Whose?" "Whose?" "Whose?").Examples possessive adjectives: hare, father, fish .
As we can see, in each group there are also denominative adjectives.Examples: possessive "wolf" from the noun "wolf" relative "straw" (from the "straw"), high-quality "gold" (from the "gold").By the way, the example of the word "gold", we see how the same word can be attributed to different types.Together "golden shower" is an adjective acts as quality, and in terms of the "golden ring" - as a relative.
About suffixes
Education denominative adjectives done by adding to the roots of nouns prefixes, suffixes, endings.The prefixes (prefixes) and endings usually do not cause any particular problems, but on the suffixes should talk more.Suffixes denominative adjectives are quite diverse.But in most cases, the correct spelling is easy to remember.The suffix "showers" and "IAS" can only be present "and»: deceptive, conscientious .In the case of the suffix "Eve" and "s" rule of writing is as follows: in the stressed syllable written "willow" in unstressed - «s» ( whiny , but steering ).Exceptions to the rule are the words "sir" and "holy fool."The suffix "s", "Ovate", "Hovit" written after hard consonants, except for the "u."Examples: artisan guilty, businesslike .After soft consonants hissing and "c" variants use a suffix, respectively, "s", "evat", "Evita»: clothing, pimply, glossy .It makes sense to focus on those cases where the spelling suffixes denominative adjectives raises many questions.
About suffix "IC»
Why do we write "German", but "French"?Such questions are often baffled.The fact that in the first case there is the suffix "k" and the second "ck".But how do you know when you write each one of them?Spelling denominative adjectives are governed by the following rule.If the stem nouns ending in "a", "c" and "h", you should use the suffix "k", and the letter "k" and "ch" at the heart of the word changed to "c»: Weaver - weaving, fist- kulak, a blacksmith - Kuznetsk .The suffix "ch" is more often used in relative adjectives.Example: Prague - Prague (here in the root of the noun is a change "d" to "f»), sailor - sailor (here "s" at the root of the noun with the suffix "SC" will give a doubling of the letter. If a noun ends in itselffor "ck", as it happens in some old Russian names (Omsk, Yeisk), the denominative adjectives are formed without any suffix: Yeisk, Omsk .
interesting writing some denominative adjective derived from foreign geographic terms. We write Welsh (from Wales), omitting the letter "c" from the root, but the addition of the suffix "SC". "At the same time the word Daugavpils (from Daugavpils)," c "from the root of the noun with the suffix"SK" will give us a double "s" in the adjective. In the case of the adjective Damascus (from Damascus), the letter "a" at the end of a noun is lost, so is written "ss".
What do these examples?About ambiguity of the language and all sorts of exceptions.Thus, contrary to the rules, we write: Tajik, Uzbek (instead tadzhitsky, uzbetsky ).These and other adjectives, the writing of which is not subject to the standard rules, you should just remember.
not going to double!
letter "n" in the suffix is the adjective most questions.When should one use it, and when to double?
The first thing to do - identify the root noun, from which the denominative adjectives.The rule is simple: if the root does not end in "n", in most cases, no doubling is not. Suburban (from giving ) - in such words, even thought there is not any double.The suffix "an", "yang", "John" will not be doubling: leather (skin), bee (bee), ground (earth) .However, there are a few words where this rule does not work: glass, wood, tin .
Important!In a number of nouns ending with the root "n" education denominative possessive adjective it occurs without any suffix.Examples: boar, pig, crows, deer and others. It is necessary to bear in mind the presence of these words in order not to ask a seemingly legitimate question: "Why are written only one" n "?"
use "nn" in denominative adjectives
According to the accepted rules twice the "H" in case we write denominative adjectives formed by adding the suffix "enn" or "onn".For example: cranberry, promotional, excursion. way, under the same rule and subject to the usual qualitative adjectives with the same suffix, emphasizing a high degree of characteristics: baggy hefty .
Doubling "n" is typical for those adjectives from nouns that have taken place on the "mia»: name, the seed, the banner, the tribe .The obtained result will look like this: noun, breeding, seed, (red) marks .
with two "n" should be written and those denominative adjective, a noun for which the original was at the end of the root of the letter "n."There doubling is because "n" suffix is added to the existing letter: valuable (price), length (length), instant (moment) .
Behold the root!
Russian language is not easy, and certain decisions are not always seem obvious.Therefore it is necessary once again to recall the need to allocate the root of the noun: it often helps to correct spelling denominative adjective.Why do we write swan , but old ?Because in the first example, we have the suffix "John", which can not be doubling.In the second case, the "n" from the root of the noun "old" added "H" from the suffix, which gives us a doubling.
Conclusion
probably can live without adjectives.But it will be for language?Primitive, limited, lacking precision and beauty.It is neither poetry nor prose, or even signs of civilization.Therefore, the study of adjectives imperative and thus extremely interesting.
