Language/Tatar/Grammar/Adjectives
Hi Tatar learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing adjectives in the Tatar language. Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns and pronouns. They can be used to express a variety of meanings, such as size, shape, color, age, origin, material, and purpose. In this lesson, we will look at how to use adjectives in Tatar, as well as some common examples.
Types of Adjectives
Adjectives in Tatar can be divided into two main categories: descriptive adjectives and possessive adjectives.
Descriptive Adjectives
Descriptive adjectives are used to describe the qualities of a noun or pronoun. Examples of descriptive adjectives in Tatar include:
- qızıl (red)
- uzun (long)
- yaxşı (good)
- köp (many)
These adjectives can be used to describe the size, shape, color, age, origin, material, and purpose of a noun or pronoun. For example:
- Qızıl çiyin (red shirt)
- Uzun qol (long arm)
- Yaxşı kitab (good book)
- Köp insan (many people)
Possessive Adjectives
Possessive adjectives are used to show ownership or possession of a noun or pronoun. Examples of possessive adjectives in Tatar include:
- mänim (my)
- sänim (your)
- onun (his/her)
- biznär (our)
These adjectives can be used to show who owns or possesses a noun or pronoun. For example:
- Mänim ev (my house)
- Sänim araba (your car)
- Onun çantası (his/her bag)
- Biznär çay (our tea)
Adjective Placement
In Tatar, adjectives usually come after the noun or pronoun they are describing. For example:
- Qızıl çiyin (red shirt)
- Uzun qol (long arm)
However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, when using the possessive adjectives mänim, sänim, onun, and biznär, the adjective comes before the noun or pronoun. For example:
- Mänim ev (my house)
- Sänim araba (your car)
