Spelling –Н- and –НН- in suffixes various parts speeches

This activity requires knowledge of how words are formed!

Clue. You can find information about them in task B1.

Rule.

Depending on the part of speech, the rule is divided into three parts.

Full adjectives and participles.

Short adjectives and participles.

To cope with this part of the rule, you need to know the signs of each part of speech.

Nouns and adverbs.

There are as many N written in adverbs as in the words from which they were formed:

looked madly - madly (see part No. 1 of the rule: formed from the verb to enrage imperfect form, without prefix and suffixes –OVA/-EVA = mad = mad)

Remember!

Before you apply a rule, see if this word is an exception! These include:

MosheNNik harderNIR

tribeNNik pridaNoh

putNNIR

YesNNIR

lawlessnessNNitza

Algorithm of actions.

1. Determine what part of speech are the words in which –Н- or –НН- are missing. This is necessary in order to know which part of the rule to use.

2. Remember if this word is an exception.

3. Think about what word the words being analyzed are formed from.

4. Determine the spelling according to the rule.

Analysis of the task.

Which answer option correctly indicates all the numbers in whose place NN is written?

His manners were not simple, but rather sophisticated. In the labyrinth of crooked, narrow and feeble streets, people were always sneaking around. The drivers argued with the loaders that the car was underloaded (3).

1) 1,2 2) 1,3 3) 1,2,3 4) 1

Manners are (what?) sophistication(1). This is a short adjective as it can be replaced with the full form exquisite. Determine the spelling of the full form: exquisite derived from the verb find, in which there is a prefix from-. Thus, we write two NNs in both full and short form.

Weak(2)th (which?) streets. This full adjective, formed from an imperfective verb pave. The prefix ne- does not affect the spelling, there are no suffixes –OVA/-EVA, and there are no dependent words either. We write one N.

The machine is underloaded (3) (what has been done?). This is a short participle because it can be replaced with a verb underloaded. In short participles one N is written.

Thus, correct option– answer No. 4.

Practice.

1. Which answer option correctly indicates all the numbers in whose place NN is written?

The house stood somewhat away from the forest; its walls here and there were renovated (1) with fresh wood, the windows were painted (2) white, a small porch on the side, decorated (3) with carvings, still smelled of resin.

Spelling N and NN in nouns

In derived nouns n or nn is written depending on the morphemes with which the nouns are formed, or in accordance with the stem from which they are derived.

    nn is written:

1) if the root of the word ends in n and the suffix begins with n: elder-nick (elderberry), druzhin-nik (druzhina), birthday-nick (name day), raspberry-nick (raspberry), swindler-nick (moshna), aspen-nick (aspen), rowan-nick (rowan); besdorn-nits-a (dowry), besson-nits-a (sleep), zvon-nits-a (ringing), log-nits-a (log);

2) if the noun is formed from an adjective having nn, or from a participle: bolno-ost ​​(painful), agitation (excited), hryvnia-ik (griven), power of attorney (trusted), zheman-itsa (cute), spoiled- ost (spoiled), chosen-ik (chosen), expelled-ik (expelled), kon-itsa (horse), koren-ik (indigenous), larch-itsa (deciduous), accident (accidental), education (educated), obshchestven-ik (public), organized-ist (organized), plen-ik (captive), envoy-ik (sent), privileged-ik (privileged), proizvodstven-ik (productive), millet-ik ( millet), artisan-ik (craft), sovremen-ik (related), priest-ik (sacred), seed-ik (seed), sovrem-ik (own), sovremen-ik (modern), consistency (agreed ), nebula (foggy).

2.

Spelling N and NN in suffixes denominative adjectives

    Nn is written:

1) for adjectives formed from nouns using the suffixes -enn-, -onn-: artificial, cranberry, straw, operating, session, station, etc.; This also includes adjectives formed from nouns ending in me (time, flame, etc.): temporary, fiery, seminal, nominal, tribal, etc.

In the adjective windy, one n is written, since it is formed not from the noun wind, but from the verb wind with the help of the suffix -n-, which does not contradict the spelling rule n in verbal adjectives: weathered, weathered, winded - formed from verbs;

2) for adjectives formed from adjectives using the suffix -enn-, indicating a large measure of the attribute: tall, hefty, wide, etc.;

3) for adjectives formed from nouns with a stem ending in n (the second -n- suffix of the adjective): long (length), true (true), millionth (million), ancient (old), canvas (canvas), etc.

Adjectives such as ram, carp, seals are written with one n, since they are formed from nouns with a stem in n by adding the suffix -j-.

The words spicy, ruddy, young are written with one n (non-derivative adjectives); in words derived from them, one n is also written: spice, rosy, rouge, youth (but: yunnat, since this word is formed from the combination young naturalist).

2. N is written for adjectives formed from nouns using the suffixes -in-, -an-, -yan-: pigeon (dove), goose (goose), chicken, eagle, swan, leather (leather), sandy (sand) , waxed (wax), linen (canvas), silver, wood-burning, etc.

Exceptions: glass, tin, wood.

It is necessary to distinguish between adjectives, the spelling of which depends on their meaning:

a) windy - “accompanied by the wind, with the wind” (windy weather), “frivolous” - transl. (fickle girl, youth); wind - “driven by the force of the wind” (wind engine, pump, mill); in the combination chickenpox, the adjective is written with the suffix -yan-, cf.: chickenpox - clear;

b) buttery - “soaked in oil, greased, stained with oil” (buttered pancakes, porridge, hands), trans. (oily eyes, oily voice, also: Shrovetide week - Maslenitsa); buttery - “for butter, from butter, in butter” (butter cookies, Oil paint, oil motor, pump, etc.); compare: oil bottle (“intended for oil”) and oil bottle (“stained with oil”);

c) silver - “subjected to silver, covered with silver” (silver spoon); silver - “made of silver” (silver spoon);

d) salty - “containing salt” (salted fish); salt - “consisting of salt” (salt mines, salt column). In the combination hydrochloric acid, the adjective is written with the suffix -yang-.

Spelling N and NN in verbal adjectives and participles

Full forms. Full form suffixes are written with nn passive participles past tense: -nn- and -yonn- (-enn-). Adjectives correlative to them in form are written in some cases also with nn in the suffix, in others - with one n.

1. Participles and adjectives in -ovanny, -yovanny, -evanny (formed from verbs in -ovat, -evat) are written with nn, for example: pampered, uprooted, lined, painted, organized; uprooted, spoiled, painted on, lined, reorganized.

2. Also written with nn are the participles not on -ovanny (-evanny, – evanny) of perfective verbs and their correlative adjectives; the vast majority of such verbs contain a prefix.

a) Examples of forms formed from prefixed verbs: bleached, washed, knitted, fried, written on, dyed, peeled, scolded, dyed, counted, unraveled, made.

b) A list of forms of native verbs without prefixes, as well as some verbs in which the prefix can only be distinguished etymologically: abandoned, given, finished, bought, deprived, captured, forgiven, released, decided, captured, revealed; met, started, offended, acquired, obliged, visited, supplied.

According to this rule, the forms of two-type (meaning both perfect and imperfect) verbs are written: crown, bequeath, promise, execute, give birth: married, bequeathed, promised, executed, born.

Exceptions. Adjectives that are correlative with participial forms are written in the following stable combinations: finished man, named brother, named sister, imprisoned father, imprisoned mother, Forgiveness Sunday.

3. Participles not on -ovanny (-ёванный, -еванный) of imperfective verbs (they are formed only from unprefixed verbs) and their correlative adjectives are written differently: participles with nn, adjectives with one n, for example: carts loaded with firewood , fish fried in oil, oil painting, hair cut by a barber and short-cropped hair, dyed green paint benches, a floor that has not been swept for a long time, walls that have not yet been whitewashed, money that has been counted more than once, an offer made many times; but: a loaded barge, fried fish, a painted beauty, cropped hair, painted benches, a swept floor, whitewashed walls, a few minutes, feigned indifference; likewise knitted and knitted, ironed and ironed, braided and braided, brushed and brushed; they are also written: chewed and chewed, pecked and pecked, forged and forged.

According to this rule, the forms of the two-type verbs shell, baptize and wound are written. Compare: a shell-shocked soldier, a seriously wounded soldier, a soldier wounded in the leg, a newly baptized baby, but: a shell-shocked commander, a wounded soldier, a baptized child.

As can be seen from the examples, the participle is recognized by the presence of dependent words. There are, however, rare cases when the dependent word is not a sign of the participle. For example, you should write: his mustache is clearly dyed (obviously artificial, where the word is clearly used with an adjective); the walls, formerly whitewashed, are now covered with green paint (walls, formerly white).

In words with the prefix not-, in complex words and in some combinations? repetitions, the forms of participles and adjectives are written in the same way as in separate (without a prefix and not as part of a complex word or repetition combination) use. Examples:

1. Words with the prefix not-:

Written with nn: uneducated, unlined, untested, unfinished, unbought, unforgiven;

Written with n: unbleached, unironed, uninvited, unforged, unfed, unpainted, unmeasured, unpaved, unplowed, uninvited, uncounted.

2. Difficult words:

Written with nn: highly qualified, fully stamped, acquired, freshly painted, purposeful, born blind, insane;

Spelled with n: plain-dyed, homespun, finely crushed, impostor, seriously wounded, whole-cut.

3. Repeat combinations with the prefix re- in the second part, which have an intensifying meaning. In them, the second part is written in the same way as the first (with nn or n), for example:

Written with nn: mortgaged-remortgaged, resolved-resolved;

Written with n: patched-re-patched, washed-re-washed, mended-re-fixed, read-re-read, darned-re-darned.

Exceptions. Written with nn instead of n:

a) adjectives desired, expected and (as part of stable combinations) has it been seen?; Is it unheard of? They are formed from imperfective verbs to wish, to wait and to see, to hear.

Special cases: adjectives put on and (as part of a stable combination) spilled sea; they are formed from imperfect prefixed verbs to put on, pour out, i.e. from verbs with the suffix -va-, which naturally do not form passive past participles;

b) adjectives with the prefix un-: unknown, unseen, unforeseen, unwanted, unexpected, undressed, unexpected, unheard, unintentional and (as part of a stable combination) an unsleeping eye;

c) complex adjectives long-awaited, home-grown and (as part of a proper name) Andrei Pervozvanny.

The second parts of these prefixed and compound adjectives also correspond to imperfective verbs.

Short forms. Short forms of passive past participles are written with one n, for example: read, read, read, read; read, read, read, read; tagged, tagged, tagged, tagged; marked, marked, marked, marked. Neuter forms are also written in impersonal use, for example: smoky, dirty, ezzheno, khozheno, ezzheno-moved, khozheno-crossed.

Short forms (except for the masculine form) of adjectives with a qualitative meaning, coinciding in form with the passive past participles of perfective verbs, are written with nn, for example: brought up, brought up, brought up (from the adjective brought up ‘discovering the results of good upbringing’); spoiled, spoiled, spoiled (from the adjective spoiled ‘accustomed to fulfilling one’s whims’); sublime, sublime, sublime (from the adjective sublime ‘full of high content’). Such adjectives have comparative forms: more educated, more spoiled, more elevated.

Compare the following examples in pairs with short forms of participles and adjectives: She was raised by a distant relative. – She has good manners, she is well-mannered. She's spoiled good conditions- She is capricious and spoiled.

Brief adjective forms na -nny are written with one n if these adjectives require dependent words and do not have a comparative form. Examples: attached to someone ‘attached’ – She is very attached to him; filled with something ‘full, imbued’ – The soul is filled with sadness; having heard about something ‘well-informed’ - We have heard a lot about his tricks.

Some adjectives have different meanings short forms spelled differently. For example, different spellings of the short forms of the word devoted: She is kind and devoted and She is dedicated. In the first example, devoted is the same adjective as well-mannered, spoiled, exalted, it has a comparative degree of more devoted; in the second - the same as attached, fulfilled, heard (requires dependent words: to someone, to something).

Short forms of adjectives expressing various emotional states can be written with n or with nn, depending on the conveyed shades of meaning. For example: She is excited (she experiences excitement) – Her speech is excited (her speech reveals, expresses excitement). In the first case, it is possible to write excited (which would emphasize that her appearance expresses excitement), but in the second case, writing excited is impossible (since speech cannot ‘experience excitement’).

IN difficult cases To distinguish between such short forms, you should refer to the academic “Russian Spelling Dictionary”.

Short forms of complex adjectives, the second parts of which coincide with participles starting with -nny, are written with n or nn depending on the meaning. Adjectives expressing characteristics that can be manifested to a greater or lesser extent, i.e. forming forms of the comparative degree, have short forms (except for the masculine form) with nn; adjectives that do not allow comparative forms in meaning have short forms with one n, For example:

Well-mannered, -no, -nny; landscaped, -no, -nny; self-confident, -no, -nny; purposeful, -no, -nny; purposeful, -no, -nny (there are forms of the comparative degree who are more well-mannered, more comfortable, more self-confident, more purposeful, more purposeful);

Interconnected, -but, -us; interdependent, -but, -us; generally recognized, -but, -us; contraindicated, -but, -ny (no forms of comparative degree).

Short forms of adjectives with a qualitative meaning, the full forms of which are expressed in writing with one n, are written in the same way as the full ones. For example: done, done, done (from done ‘unnatural, forced’); confused, confused, confused (from confused ‘illogical, confusing’); learned, learned, learned (from learned ‘knowing something thoroughly’). Forms of the comparative degree are also written (more done, more confused, more learned) and adverbs ending in -o (done, more confused, more learned).

Such adjectives are few in number; the overwhelming majority of adjectives correlative with participles in -н have no qualitative meaning; these are boiled, boiled, soaked, dried, chiseled, etc.

SPELLING N-NN IN ADVERB SUFFIXES

Adverbs ending in -o formed from adjectives/passive participles are written with nn or n depending on how the corresponding adjective/participle is written. For example:

Written with nn: accidentally, unheard of (from unexpected, unheard), excitedly, excitement (excited), confidently;

Written with n: confused (reasons confusedly), confused, confused (from confused), learned (expressed very learnedly), windy (it’s windy outside today).

1. Written with NN participles and adjectives -ovanny, -evanny, -evanny(formed from verbs in -ow, -eat), For example: pampered, uprooted, lined, painted, organized; uprooted, spoiled, painted over, lined, reorganized.

As can be seen from the examples, the participle is recognized by the presence of dependent words. There are, however, rare cases when the dependent word is not a sign of the participle. For example, you should write: his mustache is clearly dyed(obviously artificial, where is the word obviously used with an adjective); the walls, previously whitewashed, are now covered with green paint(walls that used to be white).

In words with the prefix not-, in compound words and in some combinations? repetitions, the forms of participles and adjectives are written in the same way as in a separate (without a prefix and not as part of a compound word or repetition combination) use .

Examples:

1. Words with a prefix Not- :

In the first example devoted- same adjective as educated, spoiled, sublime, it has a comparative degree more faithful; in the second - the same as attached, fulfilled, heard(requires dependent words: to anyone, anything).

Short forms of adjectives, expressing different emotional states, can be written with n or with NN depending on the conveyed shades of meaning. For example: She's excited(she feels nervous) – Her speech is excited(her speech reveals, expresses excitement). In the first case, it is also possible to write excited(which would emphasize that her appearance expresses excitement), and in the second case the writing excited impossible (since speech cannot ‘experience excitement’).

In difficult cases of distinguishing such short forms, one should refer to the academic “Russian Spelling Dictionary”.

Short forms of complex adjectives, the second parts of which coincide with the participles on -ny, written with n or NN depending on the value. Adjectives expressing characteristics that can be manifested to a greater or lesser extent, i.e. forming comparative forms, have short forms (except for the masculine form) with NN ; adjectives that do not allow comparative forms in meaning have short forms with one n , For example:

well-mannered, -no, -nny; landscaped, -no, -nny; self-confident, -no, -nny; purposeful, -no, -nny; purposeful, -no, -nny(there are comparative forms more well-mannered, more comfortable, more self-confident, more purposeful, more purposeful);

interconnected, -but, -us; interdependent, -but, -us; generally recognized, -but, -us; contraindicated, -but, -we(no forms of comparative degree).

Short forms of adjectives with a qualitative meaning, the full forms of which are conveyed in writing with one n , are written in the same way as complete ones. For example: done, done, done(from made‘unnatural, forced’); prostitute, confused, prostitutes(from confused‘illogical, confusing’); scientist, scientist, scientists(from scientist‘knowing something thoroughly’). Comparative forms are also written ( more elaborate, more confused, more learned) and adverbs -O(done, confused, learned).

Such adjectives are few in number; the vast majority of adjectives correlative with participles -ny have no qualitative significance; these are boiled, boiled, soaked, dried, chiseled and so on.

SPELLING N-NN IN ADVERB SUFFIXES

Adverbs on -O , formed from adjectives and passive participles, are written with double n or one n - depending on how the corresponding adjective or participle is written.

For example:

Written with NN : unexpected, unheard of(from unexpected, unheard of), excitedly, excitement(excited), confident;

Written with n : confusing(talks confusedly), confusion, confusion(from confused), learned(very learnedly expressed),windy(It's windy outside today).

The suffixes -н- and -нн- are among those difficulties of Russian grammar that require memorizing a large amount of material and mastering not only the rules, but also exceptions to them. The bulk of these rules concern adjectives, as well as adverbs and participles. The writing of these suffixes in nouns also has its own characteristics.

Spelling n and nn in adjective suffixes

If an adjective is formed from a noun using suffixes such as -an-, -yan- and -in-, then it is written with one n, for example, as in the word clay. And there are three exception words to this grammatical rule: tin, wood, glass. If suffixes such as -onn- and -enn- were involved in the formation of the adjective, then you need to write double n, as in the word related.

But from this rule there is exceptions- these are two words, windy And buttery.

If an adjective is formed from a word with a stem in -n using the suffix -n-, then the result is a word with a double n, although one letter is part of the stem, and the second is a suffix - picture.

Adjectives can also be formed from verbs - and this makes them similar to participles, so the spelling rules n and nn in suffixes in in this case will be common.

So, if an adjective or participle has a prefix or dependent word, then the suffix should be doubled: plowed, boiled in water. The same applies to cases when the word contains suffixes such as -ova-, -eva-, -irova-: marinated.

In addition, if a word is formed from a verb without a prefix, but it refers to perfect view, and should also be doubled: deprived.

Exception from this rule is the word wounded.

At the same time, in short participles one n will always be written, and in short adjectives there are as many of these letters as in full ones, with the exception of one form - this singular masculine, in which, as in participles, one n is written.

It is necessary to distinguish between a participle and an adjective, which often coincide. For example, the word “well-mannered” can be both, but if the participle has a short form in feminine will be brought up, then the adjective – brought up. This is not difficult to do - you need to put the word more in front of “suspect”. If it is inappropriate, then it is a participle, and if it is appropriate, then it is an adjective.

Other difficulties with the suffix -n-

This word-forming unit is used in different parts speech. Thus, in adverbs and nouns formed from adjectives, the same number of letters n are written as in the original word: pupil (from educated), organized (from organized).

What have we learned?

The main difficulties in choosing between n and nn in suffixes concern adjectives. It is on their spelling that the spelling of those nouns and adverbs that are formed from them is based. Adjectives can be formed from nouns and verbs different ways, which explain the use of n or nn. It is necessary to distinguish between verbal adjectives and participles.
