Adjective: interesting about spelling

The adjective is perhaps the most interesting part of the speech. Judge for yourself. Denoting a feature of an object, adjectives are able to form from

In other cases, spelling -n-, -nn-obeys other rules.

Double-nn- is written in adjectives

• Formed from nouns or otheradjectives with suffixes -en-, on-. (Artificial, nominal, banners, cranberry, tall, hefty). The last two examples point to an adjective with a larger measure of the characteristic than the one from which it occurred (healthy - hefty).
• In words formed with the suffix -n-from nouns, whose base on-n ends (length - long, feuilleton - feuilleton).

Sometimes it is difficult to understand what exactly formedadjective, and how many-need to write in its suffix. Often make a mistake in the word windy, trying to write it with a double-n-. motivate it this way: this adjective was formed from the word "wind" using the suffix -en-.

The reasoning itself is correct, but it is incorrectthe source word is defined. This adjective name (in Russian one is not one), was formed from the ancient verb "to wind", therefore, like any verbal adjective, there will be only one -n- in its suffix.

Несмотря на то, что слова бараний, тюлений и т.п.were formed from words ending in -n (sheep, seal), they will have only one -n-: it is believed that an unpronounceable suffix J was added to the stem (in analogy with the words dog, wolf). Therefore, the rule says that possessive (responding to the question "whose?" And denoting belonging) adjectives are written with one -n-.

With one-n- adjectives with suffixes -in-, -an-, -yann- are also written: dressed, sandy, nightingale.

It is difficult to spell certain other adjectives.

For example, there are two similar words:"Oiled" and "oily". The first means "impregnated" and is combined with the words porridge, pancake, and the like. The second has the meaning "made of" or "destined for". Example: if the bottle is intended for oil storage, then write an "oil bottle", and if it is simply stained with oil, you will get an "oil bottle". Through -y- will be written word combinations oil paint, butter cake, etc.

To correctly write other words, it also followsto distinguish their meaning. For example, the word silver, meaning "covered with silver," will be written as indicated above. The word silver (of silver) obeys the basic rule.

How not to get lost in spelling? Just. You need to learn the rules, use a dictionary or simply replace in your speech and writing complex words with others whose spelling is absolutely transparent.
