Adjectives morphology

Adjectives in Kyrgyz language do not change with cases, possessions and with plural (-лар) suffix. It has 4 levels : 1. Normal 2. Comparative 3. Superlative 4. Weakening

Normal Level

Ех:
1.кооз; Бишкекте кооз уйлор көп курулду.
2.саздуу,кара,көк,аккан Кара шибер, көк майсан, саздуу болот аккан суу.
3.жакшы; Энеси уулуна жакшы тарбия берген экен.

Comparative

Built by adding -ыраак suffix

Examples :

• кызыл+ыраак (more) redder than
• таттуу+раак (more) sweeter than
• жакшы+раак (more) better than

Superlative

1. Built by using following adverbs: эң,өтө,аябай,чымкый
   
   • эң жакшы "the best" often with possessive morphology —JNW
2. These aren't superlative, but similar
   • абдан кооз "really beautiful"
   • өтө сулуу "very handsome"
   • аябай ысык "extremely hot"
   • чылк семиз "very fat"
   • чымкый кызыл "very red"

   Typically in Apertium we categorise the "very, really, extremely" part as a separate POS preadv, which aids disambiguation -- e.g. a preadv is an adverb which cannot modify a verb on its own. -- Some can be both of course, but often leading to a different translation (e.g. (en) really<preadv> = (es) muy, (en) really<adv> = (es) verdaderamente)

3. Built by adding first letter of adjective word+{A}п as prefix
   • кара --> кап+кара very black
   • сары --> сап+сары very yellow
   • тоголок --> топ+тоголок very oval
   • ачуу --> ап+ачуу very spicy

Weakens the meaning of adjectives built by adding -ыш,-гыл,-ылжым,-илжын,-ылтыр,-гыч,-гылт,-гылтым,-ыңкы

-гыл	кир -- киргил	little bit dirty
-ылжым,-илжын	көк -- көгүлжүм,кара -- каралжым	little bit blue, little bit black
