English adjectives with translation into Russian

In this article, adjectives in English with translation will be given. These parts of speech are divided according to structuring methods as simple (consisting of one root), derivatives (with prefixes and suffixes) and complex (of two or more words). In addition to them, consider adjectives that describe colors and shades, as well as a person and his appearance.

Grammar Basics

Adjectives as parts of speech in English and Russian answer the question "what?" or "what?" (what?), for example: orange - orange, french - French, middle - middle, etc. The difference is that in English adjectives do not tend to cases or numbers, so it is much easier to learn and use them.

They can change the structure only by the degree of comparison:

• clever - cunning (smart);
• cleverer - more cunning;
• the cleverest is the trickiest.

This is an example of a simple form. Compound forms of comparison use auxiliary words more, the most. They are used for words with suffixes or having three or more syllables:

• important - important;
• more important - more important;
• the most important.

There are also adjectives that are fully modified, such as:

• good - good;
• better- better;
• the best is the best.

They are also called suppletive, or incorrect.

To find and define adjectives in sentences, you need to know exactly where they are located - usually before nouns after the article. For example: a rainy day - a rainy day. However, they not only describe something, but can also be predicable: The grass is green. - This grass is green.

Adjectives can also be divided into types - qualitative and relative. Qualitative ones describe size, shape or color, and relative ones are in addition to other objects that explain their origin (paper boat - paper ship; evening tea - evening tea, etc.).

Adjectives can be simple, derivative, and complex. Let's consider them in order.

Simple adjectives

Simple adjectives include those parts of speech that do not include any other particles - suffixes or prefixes - and consist of one root. Below in the table we list the most common English adjectives with translation and transcription.

Derived English Adjectives with Translation

This type of adjective is formed using suffixes or prefixes. Derived adjectives can be easily "calculated" in the text if you know what words they are derived from. This will help develop the skill when reading texts in English, in which there are many unknown words. Suppose the reader knows the word expense - expenses, and the sentence contains the word inexpensive - inexpensive / cheap / economical. It consists of two derivative parts - the prefix in - the negation of meaning, and at the end of the word ive - the suffix for adjectives.

In the English language there are many different particles of a word, with the help of which new parts of speech are formed from nouns and verbs. In the table below, we present derivative adjectives using various suffixes:

Complicated Adjectives

Complicated are those adjectives that were formed from two or more words. This type of adjective is written through a hyphen, forming one meaning with the help of several bases. Here are some complicated English adjectives with translation:

Types of adjectives: description of a person

In addition to the structures that structure the word themselves, in English there are many adjectives that describe a person in general and specifically in terms of appearance. When learning English, such components play an important role.

For example, a person disposing to himself can be described as good-looking - interesting / good looking - or attractive - attractive. Otherwise, you can use the phrase ill favored - unpleasant - or unattractive - unattractive. Here are some examples of words, how else can you describe someone:

The following phrases can be applied to a person’s gait:

• light / heavy gait - light gait / heavy gait;
• halting - limping;
• steady / unsteady gait - firm, confident gait or uncertain, unstable;
• rapid step - a person with a quick walk.

Complicated adjectives are also often used to describe appearances in English: black-hair (black-haired), fair-haired (fair-haired), green-eyed (green-eyed), cross-eyed (cross-eyed) and others.

Color adjectives

Learning English, and indeed any foreign language, can not do without learning one of the basic knowledge - the color palette. Surely everyone is familiar with the pronunciation of the colors of the rainbow - red, yellow, etc. Nevertheless, the color scheme is very diverse, their designations are often not enough to describe in one word. The following table shows English adjectives translated into Russian to indicate shades.

The table in the list of adjectives in English with a translation of a total of 10 color shades is listed. In addition to the color designations themselves, adjectives for them are also used to describe the colors: bright - brignt, dull - dull, etc. Thus, you can designate colors more accurately, convey their saturation, etc.

The name adjective in the study of English grammar is a fairly simple topic, if you know how they are formed. In order for knowledge to gain a foothold, you need to regularly consolidate your theoretical knowledge with practice - read books in the original, speak with native speakers, watch movies / TV shows in English, using subtitles, etc.
