How to spell roots with unstressed vowels? You will find the answer to this question in the materials of this article. In addition, examples of words containing such vowels will be presented to your attention.
General information
The question of the correct spelling of vowels in the roots arises because the stress does not fall on such letters. In this regard, we decided to devote the presented article to this particular topic.
All words with an unstressed vowel in the root are divided into 3 large groups:
- unchecked unstressed root vowel;
- verified unstressed root vowel;
- alternating vowels at the root.
Consider the rules regarding these cases in more detail.
Unverified rootless vowel
As you know, in the Russian language there are quite a few rules that help us to correctly compose a text or letter, as well as conduct an oral dialogue. However, it has a huge number of all kinds of exceptions. Surely everyone remembers how, in a comprehensive school, teachers in the humanities compelled us to memorize such words. At first glance, this is pretty easy. But in practice, many children begin to get confused and make mistakes during class or homework.

Checked Unstressed Vowels
We will examine now which unstressed vowels are fundamentally checked by selecting special words and how this is done.
To correctly write a vowel letter in the root, a verification root word should be selected for this expression . Moreover, the stress on the same vowel should fall in it. Thus, in the unstressed syllable, the same letter is used as in the shock of the test word.
Examples of a collection of cognates
Verification words should be as close as possible to verification:
- water - water - water;
- leave - leaves - move;
- sorcerer - enchantment;
- symbolic - symbol;
- forests - forest;
- fox - fox, etc.
Alternating Vowels at the Root
In the Russian language there are a large number of words that have alternating letters. Unstressed vowels at the root of such expressions are tested in various ways:
1. The presence of the suffix -a in the word . These roots include:
- - burn - - burn -;
- -cos- - -cas-;
- -stel- - -styl-;
- -lag- - -lag-;
- -even- - -read-;
- -mer- - -mir-;
- -shine- - -shine-;
- -ber- - -bir-;
- -ter- - -tyr-;
- -der- - -deer-;
- -per- - -peer-.
If the suffix –– exists, then the letters “a”, “and” should be put in the roots. If there is no such morpheme, then “o” and “e”.
2. Accent. These roots include:
- -tvor-, -hor-, -clone- (in such roots the letter “o” is written);
- -plav-, -zar- (the letter “a” is written in such roots).
3. The letter that follows the vowel. These roots include:
- -so- (in such root the letter “o” is written);
- -has- (in such root the letter “a” is written);
- -ros- (before “c”, “o” is written in the root);
- -rash-, -rast- (before "u" and "st" is written "a").
4. The value of the root. These roots include:
- -even- - -level-;
- -mak- - -mock- (in words such as "immerse in liquid" should write "a", and in words such as "pass liquid" - "o").
