Adjectives are divided into three categories: high-quality, possessive and relative.They all perform a role in determining the sentence.There are also their non-permanent signs, which must be indicated in the morphological analysis: number, gender and case.
material manufacturing, spatial or temporal features related to any community to denote relative adjectives.Examples: Banana Paradise (material) southwest wind (space), yesterday's bread (time), the national voice (community).
These symptoms are not observed from the quantitative point of view, therefore, they do not exist, and the degrees of comparison.It can not be a banana tree "Banana" or, even more so, "very banana" or "most of the banana"!
relative adjectives are formed from nouns.For example: Pistachio - pistachio, oilcloth - oilcloth, fall - autumn, one hand - one-handed.But sometimes in substantivizing they move into the category of nouns: a military man - a soldier, a Russian - Russian, a bathroom - a bathroom, children's room - children.However, in this case, they lean on the principle of adjectives.
should be noted that the short form of the relative form of adjectives can not."Wooden" from "wooden", "sinks" from the "plum", "derevensok" from "rustic" - these words can only exist in a speech a joker who decides to "play" the language mangling it.
not combined relative adjectives with adverbs, including the word "very."Everyone agrees that the phrase "very pistachio", "strong dog" or "too fly" sound absurd and ridiculous.
Today, many humorists successfully "beat" the peculiarities of the Russian language, inventing things like, "No, my destiny - posobachnee your will!" Or "Well, very Russian man!Rousseau most of all Russian! ยป
Another distinguishing feature, which has a relatively adjectives - is the lack of antonyms.And what antonyms (words with opposite meanings) may have the word "cat" or "table", "electric" or "January"?
If someone will pick up to the adjective "cat" antonym "dog", it can be calculated only for a fun, but bad joke.After all, dogs and cats - just animals that sometimes happens quarrel.But their argument - not a law, so called these adjectives can not antonyms.As it is impossible to determine the adjective "January" antonym "June" or "May", also called the foolish to try antonyms of the word "wood" and "iron".
Note the peculiarity of the Russian language as the mobility of boundaries between lexical and grammatical category of adjectives.That is, relative adjectives in a particular context can turn into a possessive or quality.
example is the word "dog."In conjunction with the noun "pack" it remains in the discharge of relative adjectives with the word "ears" have transformed into a possessive, and the phrase "dog's life" is very indicative of the quality of life itself ...
Here are the main features of this category of adjectives.
