Qualitative adjectives call such properties of objects which can be shown to a greater or lesser extent. These are physical and chemical signs or traits of character and also mental and intellectual characteristics. These values of qualitative adjectives are expressed by means of such grammatical categories as a sort, number and a case.
Instruction
1. Qualitative adjectives are characterized by a number of grammatical features. They, as a rule, have the full and short form and also form a degree of comparison.
2. Qualitative adjectives change on cases and numbers, and in singular even on childbirth. But it is necessary to consider that all these grammatical categories (a sort, a case and number) at adjectives – categories syntactic: they directly depend on a sort, number and a case of nouns which qualitative adjectives define. For example: "the new house" – a masculine gender, singular, "new giving" – a feminine gender, singular, "the new building" – a neutral gender, singular, and "new constructions" – plural.
3. Qualitative adjectives with inflections on "-y, - oh, - aya, - oye" (in singular) and "-iye" (in plural), standing in a full form, change on cases or incline. An initial form is the Nominative case, singular, a masculine gender. For example: - the Nominative case – "day (what?) cheerful"; - a genitive case – "day (what?) cheerful"; - a dative case – "to day (to what?) cheerful"; - an accusative case – "day (what?) cheerful"; - an instrumental case – "in the afternoon (what?) cheerful"; - a prepositional case – "about day (what?) cheerful".
4. Short forms of qualitative adjectives on cases do not change also in the offer, as a rule, are a personalized part of a compound personalized predicate. For example: "The value of this word was imperceptible" - in this offer the word "value" is a subject, and "was imperceptible" - a compound personalized predicate. Case forms of short adjectives as traces of old grammar remained only in folklore and in steady combinations: "on Béla I weed", "on good of a horse", "to a krasn the maiden", "barefoot".
