Usage notes
[edit]Note the following properties:
- A velar (as well as ц) normally turns into a palatal as a result of the Slavic first palatalization. This and the following several properties are due to the *ь that was formerly present at the beginning of the suffix.
- A stem ending in -л turns into -ль before the suffix; contrariwise, all other stems ending in -ь lose this.
- With reducible nouns, the stem assumes its non-reduced form before the suffix. With feminine and neuter nouns, this form is found only in the genitive plural. This applies even to nouns with no plural.
- земля́ (zemljá, “land”) (genitive plural земе́ль (zemélʹ)) + -ный (-nyj) → земе́льный (zemélʹnyj, “(relational) land”)
- ядро́ (jadró, “nucleus”) (genitive plural я́дер (jáder)) + -ный (-nyj) → я́дерный (jádernyj, “nuclear”)
- ёлка (jólka, “Christmas tree”) (genitive plural ёлок (jólok)) + -ный (-nyj) → ёлочный (jóločnyj, “(relational) Christmas tree”) (к is palatalized in accordance with a preceding property)
- во́дка (vódka, “vodka”) (genitive plural *во́док (*vódok)) + -ный (-nyj) → во́дочный (vódočnyj, “(relational) vodka”)
- литьё (litʹjó, “casting”) (genitive plural *лите́й (*litéj)) + -ный (-nyj) → лите́йный (litéjnyj, “(relational) casting”)
- ё may turn back into е before the suffix.
- The stress is sometimes (but not always) drawn onto the preceding syllable.
- не- (ne-, “un-”) + обы́чай (obýčaj, “custom”) → необыча́йный (neobyčájnyj, “unusual, extraordinary”)
- се́рия (sérija, “series”) + -ный (-nyj) → сери́йный (seríjnyj, “serial”)
- Foreign nouns ending in invariant -е change this to stressed -е́й before the suffix.
- Some adjectives in -ия, -ие change this to stressed -е́й before the suffix (as if they ended in -ья, -ье/-ьё).
- But some adjectives in -ия, -ие have the expected change to -и́й:
- Adjectives in -ный may be formed directly from foreign nouns or adjectives, as in молекуля́рный (molekuljárnyj, “molecular”) and кассацио́нный (kassaciónnyj, “(relational) appeal, cassation”) (there is no such adjective *молекуля́р and no such noun *кассацио́н).
Note in particular that nouns in -ка (-ka), -ко (-ko) have corresponding adjectives in unstressed -очный.
