Endings of adjectives in Russian. Declension of adjectives


Adjectives have endings (taking into account the type of declension) similar to the endings of the question word what: poor (what?) boy, poor (what?) boy, poor (how?) boy, poor (what?) boy, about poor (about how are you?) boy, etc.
Using this rule, it is necessary to take into account the type of declination. Adjectives inflected according to the solid variety (red, valuable, civilized, etc.) will have the same singular endings as the word what, except for the masculine nominative case (red - what?) and the masculine and neuter instrumental cases (red - which one?).
R. (what?) red, valuable (what?) red, yen
D. (what?) red, valuable (what?) red, yen
V. (what?) red, valuable (what?) red, valuable
(what code?) red, valuable (what?) red^, valuable.
T. (what?) red, valuable (what?) red, yen
P. (about which?) about red, about valuable (about which?) about red, about yen
In adjectives inflected according to the soft variety (autumn, winter, father's, etc.), the following endings are written: -ego instead of -ogo, -emo instead of -om, -em instead of -om (-e instead of -oy in feminine adjectives) . Adjectives that have a soft variety of declension, in the plural, coincide in their endings with the word “what?”, and those that have a hard variety differ from it (stress and the question “which?” corresponds to s).
R. (what?) autumn, why (what?) autumn, father D. (what?) autumn and. why and (which?) autumn.. father's V. (what?) autumn, why (which?) autumn, father's (what?) autumn, father's (what?) autumn, father's T. (what?) autumn, stepfather (what?) autumn, father's
P. (about what?) about autumn, about father (about what?) about autumn, about father
I. (what?) autumn. father's (what?) red, valuable
R. (which ones?) osenpschs. father's (what?) red, valuable
D. (what?) autumn, stepfather (what?) red, valuable
V. (what?) autumn, father's (what?) red, valuable
(what?) autumn, father's (what?) red, valuable
T. (what?) autumn, stepfathers (what?) red, valuable P. (about what?) about autumn, about father's (what?) red, about valuable
For the spelling of o and e in the endings of adjectives after sibilants and if, see above.
Possessive adjectives in -iy, -ya, -ye, -yi (wolf, wolf, wolf, wolf) differ from other adjectives in their declension features. These adjectives in all cases, except for the nominative case and the similar accusative case of the masculine singular (for example, wolf), are written with ь: fox, fox, fox, fox, about fox, fox, fox, etc.; fox, fox, fox, fox, fox, oh fox; foxes, foxes, foxes, foxes, about foxes; wolfish, wolfish, wolfish, wolfish, about wolfish, etc.; bearish, bearish, bearish, bearish, about bearish, etc.
These forms should be distinguished from the adjectives na -chiy, -tea, -chee (hot, hot, hot), formed from short adjectives and written without ь in indirect cases: hot (pie), hot (bun), hot (pies).
1. We saw amazing (what?) things at the bird (what?) market (V. Arsenyev). 2. The sea and sky merged into blue (what?) infinity (M. Gorky). 3. It’s sweet to fall asleep in a dear (what?) house, on a familiar (what?! bed (I. Turgenev). 4. Under the ceiling, on a long (what?) cord hung a cage with a short-tailed (what?) siskin (I. Turgenev 5.

She seemed even younger in the light of the spring (what?) sun ( I. Turgenev) 7.

In order to correctly decline adjectives, you need to know their case questions in both numbers.

It is most convenient to check endings and adjectives by substituting a question Which? in the required form, since the endings of the question and the adjective coincide, for example: It was hard for him to walk after the difficult Wow(How Wow?) day. The exception is the nominative singular masculine case (and the similar accusative case), where the ending is written under the accent -Ouch (tear off Ouch calendar, business Ouch Human), and without accent - th or -th (tabletop th calendar, sincerely th Human).

In adjectives on -th , -ya , -ye (wolf th, wolf ya, wolf ye ) in all cases, except for the nominative (and similar accusative) case of the masculine singular, the letter is written b , For example: wolf b I(flock), wolf b e(den), wolf b And(footprints); wolf b him, wolf b hey, wolf b them, wolf b them etc. (but: wolf th howl).

Nominative case endings

In the feminine gender in the nominative singular case the ending is written -and I or -yaya , and in the neuter gender - -oh or -her (which?correspondence and I average yaya school; which?interesting oh comprehensively her study).

In the plural of all three genders the ending is written -s or -ies (which?frosty s winter no days, nights, mornings).

Accusative endings

In the feminine gender in the accusative case the singular ending is written -yy or -yuyu (answers the question which one?), For example: finish (which?) correspondence course wow average yuyu school.

Instrumental endings

In the masculine and neuter gender, the ending is written in the instrumental case of the singular -th or -them (answers the question what?), For example: enjoy (what?) warmth th autumn them afternoon, morning.

In the feminine singular the ending is written -Ouch (-oh ) or -to her (-her ) (answers the question Which? which one?), For example: patronize (which? which?) shift Ouch average to her school.

Prepositional case endings

In the masculine and neuter gender, the ending is written in the prepositional case singular -ohm or -eat (answers the question which one?), For example: write about (what?) heat ohm autumn eat afternoon, morning.

Declensions of participles, ordinal numbers

Just like qualitative and relative adjectives, participles, some pronouns (every, every, most, this, etc.), ordinal numbers (first, second, fourth, etc., are inflected, except for the third, inflected, like possessive adjective wolfish). The spelling of the endings of all these words can be checked by substituting the question which? in the required form, for example: He tried to read (what?) every scientific article that appeared on (what?) the question that interested him.
