Adjectives are the words that we use to name an attribute of an object:
- Color (white - бяло, dark green - тъмно зелено, blue - синьо),
- Size (tall - висок, long - дълъг, shallow - плитко),
- Qualities that are perceived by the sense of smell, taste, touch (sour - суров, sweet - сладък, soft - нежен, pleasant - приятен, smooth - гладък),
- Physical qualities (young - млад, strong - силен, blind - невидим),
- Shape of the object (round - кръгъл, square - квадратен, elliptical - елипсовиден),
- General assessment of the object (wrong - грешен, important - важен, necessary- необходим), etc.
Adjectives are every word, which can connect with nouns.
Adjectives change by:
• Gender – high (masculine), high (feminine), high (neutral);
Род – висок (м. р.), висока (ж. р.), високо (ср. р.);
• Number – high (singular), high (plural);
Число – високо (единствено число), високо (множествено число);
• Article – high, the high, the high one.
Член – висок, високия, високият
Types of adjectives:
• Qualitative (big, tall, sweet, useful); can be graded (bigger, tallest, sweeter, most useful);
Kачествени (голям, висок, сладък, полезен); могат да се степенуват (по-голям, най-висок, по-сладък, най-полезен);
• Relative (wooden, forest, mature, childish); cannot be graded (we can say bigger, but not woodier)
Oтносителни (дървен, горски, зрелостен, детски); не могат да се степенуват (можем да кажем по-голям, но не и по-дървен)
