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/ (N>A)

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/ (N>A)

  • жумушчул
  • арекетчил

-/sAK/ (N>A)

-/KI/ (?>A)

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/ (N>A)

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/ (N>A)

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.

-/LIK/ (A>N, N>N, N>A)

Derives [usually abstract] nouns from adjectives.

  • үйсүздүк homelessness
  • кедейлик poverty
  • акчасыздык monilessness
  • тамаксыздык foodlessness
  • жарыктык brightness/light
  • көктүк stubbornness
  • чоңдук largeness
  • достук friendship
  • көлдүк lake (adj.) (i.e., someone or something from or around a/the lake)

-/ʧI+lIK/ (N>N, A>N)

Derives [usually abstract] nouns from nouns.

  • үйсүзчүдүк homelessness
  • кедейчилик poverty (A>N)
  • жоокерчилик gallantry/heroicness
  • мейманчылдык hospitality
  • досчулдук friendliness
  • токойчулук forestry
  • ачкачылык hunger (A>N)
  • токчулук ~satiety (A>N)

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 ...

Used attributively to NP

These make whole verb phrases usable like adjectives to modify nouns. This is one type of relative clause.

They should be called "verbal adjectives" or "adjectival participles". A potential tag prefix might be <vadj_>.

name positive negative TAMVE
-A(ː)р -BA(ː)с
-GUс
-GAн -BAGAн
-чU -BAчU
-E турган -BAй турган

Used as NP

These make verb[ phrase]s usable as noun[ phrase]-like objects of other verbs. This is one type of relative clause.

These should probably be called "gerunds", with a tag prefix of <ger_>.

name positive negative TAMVE
GAn BAGAn
A(ː)r BA(ː)s
(I)ʃ BAʃ
(U)U BOO

Used as adverbial element

These make a verb phrase "subordinated" to another verb phrase. These usually translate as "subordinate clauses", I guess.

These should probably be called "adverbial participles" and be named based on the type of adverbial clause they create. A potential tag prefix could be <prt_> for "participle"?
