The Rhyme Rule

If a noun ends in 'a', the adjective usually ends in 'aya'. If a noun ends in 'o', the adjective ends in 'oye'. It's a great quick check!

Word Order Matters

Short adjectives never go before the noun. 'Красивый дом' is okay, but 'Красив дом' is not. Always say 'Дом красив'.

  • Subject + Short Adj

أخطاء شائعة

You used the masculine ending for a feminine noun. Always check the noun's ending first.

Wrong: Новый книга
صحيح: Новая книга

When using the adjective as a predicate (after 'to be'), use the short form.

Wrong: Я готовый
صحيح: Я готов

House is masculine in Russian, so it requires the masculine -ый ending.

Wrong: Красивая дом
صحيح: Красивый дом

Fix the adjective agreement error.

Find and fix the mistake:

Я пью холодный молоко.

✓ Correct! ✗ Not quite. Correct answer: Я пью холодное молоко.
'Молоко' is neuter (ends in -о), so 'холодный' must become 'холодное'.

Мама, обед ___?

أسئلة شائعة (4)

The most common ending is the masculine '-ый'. You'll see it in almost every dictionary entry for an adjective.
Neuter nouns almost always end in '-о' or '-е'. Examples include 'окно' (window) and 'море' (sea).
Long adjectives describe a quality (The big house), while short adjectives make a statement about a state (The house is big).
No, they only function as the predicate (the 'is' part) of the sentence.
