In recent years, the Russian language has been actively updated with new words. And most of these words are complex. They are so called, not only because people have difficulty writing them, but because they consist of several roots.
Complicated words in the language are very convenient because they allow you to more accurately and concisely name an object or phenomenon, for example: "round-the-clock", "pale-faced", "car repair". Why are these words so difficult to spell?
Most often, complex words of the Russian language are formed by merging two words into a phrase. The difficulty in this case is the inability to distinguish between the phrase and the compound word formed from it, for example, “strong acting” and “strong acting”.
They need to be distinguished not only by meaning, but also by intonation: a compound word has no emphasis on the first word. In addition, in the phrase, the words can be interchanged and transferred to another place in the sentence. In this case, to understand that the phrase is in front of you, you can put a question to the word and find the dependent word.
If compound words are formed from two nouns, then the resulting word will be written through a hyphen. For example: "sofa bed", "chef" and others. But most often complex words are formed by adding complete or truncated stems. Usually such words are spelled together: "power station", "kindergarten".
The most difficult words are adjectives formed by addition. They can
to be written both together and through a hyphen. Using a hyphen, adjectives are written that denote the color “pale blue,” words formed from nouns that are written through a hyphen, “social democratic,” and parts of the word that are not connected, are “garden garden”. But these rules do not apply to all words. Many compound words are also complex in spelling, since it is difficult to understand whether to spell them together, separately or through a hyphen.
Why is this happening? The basic spelling rules were created in the middle of the 20th century, but after that a huge number of new words formed in the Russian language. A new explanation of hyphenation in compound words has appeared. Scientists have noticed that if the first part of the word has a suffix, then a hyphen is placed after it, for example: "fruit and berry", "North Russian".
Compound words are the longest in Russian. If ordinary words do not exceed 10 letters, then in complex letters there are 20-30, and sometimes more. Most often, the longest words are different terms and special concepts, for example, "literary and linguistic." Especially a lot of very long words in chemistry. But among the common ones there are long ones: "hatefulness", "private entrepreneurship". These words are difficult not only in spelling, but also in pronunciation: rarely anyone will pronounce them without hesitation the first time.
Sometimes complex words formed by the addition of several foundations are abbreviated and called complex abbreviations. Such are usually written in capital letters, for example: "Moscow State University", "KVN".
Nowadays one cannot do without complex words, so it is very important to know how they are spelled correctly.
