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	--

Derivation

Aside from the derivation under #"Weakening", there is semi-productive derivation of adjectives from other parts of speech. This section will include some of them. Most of this morphology can probably be safely ignored as long as there's a certain amount of forms in the lexicon

-/LUU/

This makes adjectives out of nouns; I don't think it's universally productive, but it's quite ubiquitous

• бакыт "happiness", бактылуу "happy"
• белги "sign, symbol", белгилүү "famous, well-known"
• кыймыл "motion", кыймылдуу "moving"
• күмөн "doubt", күмөдүү "questionable"
• ийгилик "success", ийгиликтүү "successful"

-/ʧIl/

-/sAK/

-/KI/

This seems to be used productively with time words and locations to make attributive adjectives

• бүгүн "today", бүгүнкү "today's"
• былтыр "last year", былтыркы "last year's"
• түн "night", түнкү "nighttime (adj.)"
• үст+ү "top+<px3>", үстүнкү "upper"
• аст+ы "bottom+<px3>", астынкы "lower"
• сырт "outside", сырткы "outer"

-/DAy/

Completely productively makes noun[phrase]s into adjectives meaning "X-like" / "like/as X". Can be used with copulas as a predicate for "A is like B".

• күндөй жарык "as bright as day / as the sun"
• баладай назик "as gentile as a child"
• иттей чоң "as big as a dog" (иттей is also a dialectal/slang adverb meaning "extremely")
• кенедей кичинекей "as small as a tick" (кенедей also means "teeny(/)tiny"
• etc.

-/sIz/

Almost completely productively makes phrases like "without X" or "X-less" from noun[phrase]s. These phrases can be used to modify nouns (as ~adjectives), adjectives (as adverbs), or verbs (as ~adverbs). Some of these are lexicalised

• акчасыз - pennyless
• сөзсүз - "without a word" = "definitely"
• көңүлсүз - "without 'feeling'" = "unhappy/unhappily"
• etc.

-/(ʧI+)lIK/

Derives [usually abstract] nouns from nouns.

Numerals (Сан атооч)

Numerals in it's own state do not change with cases and with plural (-лар) suffix.
Built by following suffixes:

suffixes	Example	Gloss
-ынчы (-нчы)	бир+инчи, жети+нчи,үч+үнчү	first, seventh, third (ordinals)
-оо,-өө	бир+өө,алт+оо,беш+өө	one,six,five of them (supporting)
-ча	отуз+ча,кырк+ча,жүз+чө	approximateley thirty,forty,hundred (approximate)
-дай	беш+тей,он+дой,кырк+тай,жүз+дөй	almost five,ten,forty,hundred (approximate)
-лаган	он+догон,жүз+дөгөн,миң+деген,кырк+таган	tens of,hundreds of, thousands of, forties of
-лар ?	эки+лер,уч+төр, он+дор	???

Verb Morphology

Verbs morphologically can be changed according to possessions, tenses, relation suffixes(мамиле мүчөөлөрү) and condition suffixes(ыңгай мүчөөлөрү). There are 4 types of verbs.

1. Normal verbs : көгөрөт, окуйт, баалайт, жыгышты etc...
2. Complex verbs : ойгонгусу келип турат, кете бермек екенмин, бара жаткан элем, шыбыраша башташкан экен, etc...
3. main verbs : окуп, сүйлөп, ойноп, күлүп, кетип, уча, жазып. etc ...
4. helping verbs : жатат, берди,атат,койду, калды, ийди, чыкты, etc ...
