Adjectival 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 (-/(I)rAAK/) suffix

Examples :

• кызыл+ыраак redder
• таттуу+раак sweeter
• жакшы+раак better
• кең+ирээк wider
• сары+раак yellower
• тоголок+ураак rounder
• соо+роок more sober
• өзгөчө+рөөк more special

#Ablative case is used for "than", e.g.:

• мен+ден чоң+ураак bigger than me

Superlative

1. Built by using following adverbs: эң,өтө,аябай,чымкый
   • эң жакшы "the best"
   • эң катуу "the hardest"
   • эң сары "the yellowest"

   this is often with possessive morphology after the adjective or the NP it's part of, corresponding roughly to definiteness (specifying what the known domain is) —JNW

   • • бу+лар+дын эң чоң+у аныкы the biggest of these is his
     • бул алма+лар+дын эң сары+сы this is the yellowest of the apples
     • бул эң сары алма(+сы) this is the yellowest apple

1. 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) —FMT

2. "extremetive" (?) adjectives
3. Built by reduplication: the reduplicant is composed of all material through the first syllable nucleus of an adjective and ends with +/п/, prepended in front of the base
   • кара --> кап+кара as black as can be
   • сары --> сап+сары as yellow as can be
   • тоголок --> топ+тоголок as round as can be
   • ачуу --> ап+ачуу as spicy as can be
   • кызыл --> кып+кызыл as red as can be

"Weakening"

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

These are almost entirely non-productive and can probably be ignored for morphological analysis —JNW

suffixes	Example	Gloss
-ыш	ак -- агыш,көк -- көгүш	little bit white,little bit blue
-гыл	кир -- киргил	little bit dirty
-ылжым,-илжын	көк -- көгүлжүм,кара -- каралжым	little bit blue, little bit black
-ылтыр	көк -- көгүлтүр	blueish
-гыч	сары -- саргыч	yellowish
-гылт	сары -- саргылт,кызыл -- кызгылт	yellowish, reddish
-гылтым	кызыл -- кызгылтым	reddish
-ыңкы	азган -- азыңкы	--
