Introduction
In this lesson, we will be discussing how adjectives agree with nouns in gender, number, and case in the Tatar language. Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns, and it is important to understand how they work in different contexts to communicate effectively in Tatar. We will also be practicing using adjectives to describe nouns in sentences. By the end of this lesson, you will have a better understanding of adjective agreement in Tatar and be able to use adjectives in context.

Adjective Agreement
Adjectives in Tatar agree with nouns in gender, number, and case. This means that the form of an adjective changes depending on the noun that it is modifying. Let's take a look at some examples:
Tatar | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
кала | kalä | house (nominative singular) |
кала | kalanıŋ | house (genitive singular) |
калалар | kalalar | houses (nominative plural) |
калаларның | kalalarıñ | houses (genitive plural) |
As you can see, the form of the adjective "house" changes depending on whether it is singular or plural, as well as the case of the noun that it is modifying. In the first row, кала (kalä) is in the nominative singular case, so the adjective takes the same form. In the second row, кала (kalanıŋ) is in the genitive singular case, so the adjective takes the genitive singular form каланың (kalanıñ). In the third and fourth rows, the noun is plural, so the adjective takes the plural form калалар (kalalar) and калаларның (kalalarıñ) accordingly.
Let's look at some more examples to better understand how adjective agreement works in Tatar.
Tatar | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
алдындагы урынды | aldındagi urındı | the front seat (nominative singular) |
алдындагы урындың | aldındagi urındıñ | the front seat (genitive singular) |
алдындагы урындар | aldındagi urındar | the front seats (nominative plural) |
алдындагы урындарның | aldındagi urındarıñ | the front seats (genitive plural) |
In this example, the noun is "seat" (урын) and the adjective is "front" (алдындагы). The form of the adjective changes depending on the noun's gender, number, and case. In the first row, the noun is in the nominative singular case, so the adjective takes the same form. In the second row, the noun is in the genitive singular case, so the adjective takes the genitive singular form алдындагы урындың (aldındagi urındıñ). In the third and fourth rows, the noun is plural, so the adjective takes the plural form алдындагы урындар (aldındagi urındar) and алдындагы урындарның (aldındagi urındarıñ) respectively.
Another example:
Tatar | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
жаңа китап | yaşa kitap | new book (nominative singular) |
жаңа китапның | yaşa kitapnıñ | new book (genitive singular) |
жаңа китаплар | yaşa kitaplar | new books (nominative plural) |
жаңа китапларның | yaşa kitaplarıñ | new books (genitive plural) |
In this example, the noun is "book" (китап) and the adjective is "new" (жаңа). Again, the adjective agrees with the gender, number, and case of the noun.
It is important to note that adjective agreement applies to all types of adjectives, including color adjectives, size adjectives, and opinion adjectives. Let's look at some examples:
Tatar | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
киче китап | kiche kitap | small book (nominative singular) |
киче китапның | kiche kitapnıñ | small book (genitive singular) |
киче китаплар | kiche kitaplar | small books (nominative plural) |
киче китапларның | kiche kitaplarıñ | small books (genitive plural) |
Tatar | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
кара баш | kara baş | black head (nominative singular) |
кара башның | kara başnıñ | black head (genitive singular) |
кара башлар | kara başlar | black heads (nominative plural) |
кара башларның | kara başlarıñ | black heads (genitive plural) |
Tatar | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
көңүлләре ләйүм | køñülläre läyum | delicious candies (nominative plural) |
көңүлләренең ләйүме | køñüllärenең läyumе | delicious candies (genitive plural) |
As you can see, the adjectives "small" (киче), "black" (кара), and "delicious" (көңүлләре) agree with the nouns in gender, number, and case.
Practice
Now that you have an understanding of adjective agreement in Tatar, let's practice using adjectives to describe nouns in context.
- Translate the following sentences into Tatar, using the appropriate form of the adjective to agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun:
- The green apples are delicious.
- She has a red car.
- My big house has a garden.
- He is wearing a new shirt.
- They are reading interesting books.
- Answer the following questions using an adjective in context:
- Бу компьютренең һәмисе ...? (Is this computer fast?)
- Селәмнең икенниң ...? (Which horse is faster?)
- Бу бөтәк китап көрә ...? (Is this book interesting?)
- Мин бәйке суктан әскиннең ... (Which apple is sweeter?)
- Рәхим башка форманың ... (Which form is better?)
