BASIC/ROOT ADJECTIVES
Basic adjectives consist of two/three letters as CV/x and VCV/x, yielding about 500, but doubling by using of “x” at the ends giving an adverse meaning such as “ebi” for beautiful and “ebix” for ugly. Adjectives have also been separated in classes. Two letter adjectives “CV*” with the titles: “interrogative, demonstrative, indefinite (quantifier), indefinite numerical, main colours, placing and possessive" where C indicates the group and “a” to “ü” varying vowels denoting the adjectives.
Three letters are separated in to two main groups as “DESCRIPTIVE-QUALIFYING (DQ)” and “DESCRIPTIVE–PEOPLE (DP)” (personality and behaviour mainly). Each of them has been subdivided internally according to the scheme V#V (eC*e; eC*i; … eC*ü for the first main group and aC*a; aC*e; aC*i; … aC*ü, eC*a for the remaining). Each subtitle indicates a special type of the adjectives such as “aC*e-being”, “aC*i-behaviour” or “eC*ü-nature/science. Physical features, appearance, human attribute, opinion-view etc., each consonant representing one heading with vowels varying.
Examples for Root Adjectives:
Indefinite (Quantifier): şV* | English | DQ: eC*e | Physical Descr. of Things | DP: aC*i | Person-Behaviour | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
şa | more | ebe-x | sweet-bitter | abi-x | polite/kind/gentle-impolite/rude | ||||||||
şe | most | ece | - | aci-x | fair-biased | ||||||||
şi-şix | several/many/much -few/little | eçe | sour | açi-x | just-devious | ||||||||
şo-şox | some_ - any_ | ede-x | hot-cold | adi-x | sedate-excited | ||||||||
şö | each | efe-x | warm- cool | afi | superficial | ||||||||
şu-şux | every_ -no_ | ege-x | wide-narrow | agi | keen/eager |
Possessive Determiners: az, oz, uz, ez, öz, üz- my, your, its, our, your, their Possesive determiners are adjective in their role in syntax but because genitive suffix "_z" is placed after the word it modifies the rule that adjective ends upon vowel (CV) changed here to VC exceptionally.
DERIVED ADJECTIVES
Adjectives will be derived by adding suffixes to the verbs and nouns. As the root adjectives, also derived ones end with a vowel, typical for adjectives. Thus they will have six to eight letters.
Deverbal Adjectives
They will be derived by the suffixes “_ado/_adox” (in place of the English suffixes "_ful, _less, _ant/-ent, _ive, _ile, _ic, _ate, _y/ly,_ic, _ous, etc.), "_ako" (for capability "_able/_ible"), “_amo” (for past participle _ed) and “_ana” (for present participle _ing).
Examples for Deverbal Adjectives:
_ado-adox | _ful-less | (_azo)ado | _ant/-ent | _ako | _able, _ible | _amo | p.p _ed/irregular | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
bip.ado-x | hope.ful-less | tüm.ado | relaxant | kir.ako | breakable | dul.amo | boiled | |||||||
yaz.ado-x | use.ful-less | sik.ado | pleasant | moy.ako | admirable | mad.amo | known | |||||||
rol.ado-x | harm.ful-less | feh.ado | dominant | höç.akox | incredible | bür.amo | worried |
Denominal Adjectives
Denominal adjectives will be derived by the suffixes “_do/_dox” (in place of the English affixes "_ful, _less, _ive, _ulent, _ile, _holic, _ic, _ate, _y/ly,_ic, _ous, un_, im_...etc.) and "_ko" (for capability "_able/_ible")
Examples
_do | _ful, _ous | _dox | -less, in-, ir- | _ko | _able,_ible | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
pasba.do | peaceful | pasba.dox | hope.less | pösvi.ko | fashionable | |||||
sinte.do | handful | camya.dox | timeless | pisbe.ko | taxable | |||||
pössi.do-x | merciful-cruel | hanya.dox | homeless | menyö.ko | sociable |
With these 8 suffixes (ado, adox, ako, amo, ano, do, dox, ko) it is possible to get unnumbered new adjectives from verbs and nouns additionally to 520 root adjectives.
