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+ыраакredderтаттуу+раакsweeterжакшы+раакbetter- кең+ирээк wider
сары+раакyellower- тоголок+ураак rounder
соо+роокmore sober- өзгөчө+рөөк more special
#Ablative case is used for "than", e.g.:
- мен+ден чоң+ураак bigger than me
Superlative
- 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
- 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. apreadv
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
- Typically in Apertium we categorise the "very, really, extremely" part as a separate POS
- "extremetive" (?) adjectives
- 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/
- бакыт "happiness", бактылуу "happy"
- белги "sign, symbol", белгилүү "famous, well-known"
- кыймыл "motion", кыймылдуу "moving"
