Pregled
Pridevnik 'mlad' je osnovna beseda v slovenščini za opisovanje starosti. Spada med najpogosteje uporabljene pridevnike in se začne poučevati že na stopnji A1. Njegov primarni pomen je nasproten pomenu besede 'star'. 2) Vzorci uporabe: Kot vsi slovenski pridevniki se tudi 'mlad' ujema s samostalnikom v spolu, številu in sklonu. Ima določno (mladi) in nedoločno obliko (mlad). Nedoločna oblika se uporablja predvsem v povedku (On je še mlad), določna pa, ko govorimo o točno določeni osebi ali stvari (Mladi zdravnik je prišel). 3) Pogosti konteksti: Najpogosteje ga srečamo pri opisovanju ljudi (mlad fant, mlada deklica), družinskih članov ali v kmetijstvu. V Sloveniji je izraz 'mlad' zelo pogost v kulinariki, kjer označuje sveže pridelke, npr. 'mlad krompir' ali 'mlado vino', ki sta sezonsko zelo pomembna. 4) Primerjava s podobnimi besedami: Besedo 'mlad' pogosto zamenjujejo z besedo 'nov'. Glavna razlika je v tem, da 'mlad' uporabljamo za živa bitja in nekatere naravne procese, 'nov' pa za predmete, ki so bili pravkar kupljeni ali izdelani. Na primer, rečemo 'mlad pes', a 'nov avto'. Obstaja tudi pridevnik 'mladosten', ki pa ne opisuje dejanske starosti, temveč videz ali vedenje, ki je značilno za mlade ljudi (npr. mladosten videz pri starejši osebi).
