The word with the suffix "n". Spelling rules

What rules obey the words with the suffix "n", "nn"? The answer to this question is found in the materials of this article.

General information on words with "n" and "nn"

Practically in each part of speech there are such words in which mistakes are made because of ignorance of those or other rules on spelling of one or two "n". That's why to create a literate text, you should know all the nuances of such expressions.

Nouns

How it is necessary to write a word (with the suffix "n" or "nn"), which is a noun? In derivative expressions, one or the other suffix is required depending on the morphemes available or in accordance with the basis. Consider the rules in more detail:

1. "NN" is placed if:

• The noun has a basis on "n", and at the same time the suffix begins with a similar letter (for example, elderberry-buzin-nick, sleep-sleeplessness, aspen-aspen-nickname, name-day-name-name);
• The noun is formed on behalf of the adjective or participle, which have 2 "n" (for example, sickness - illness, elected - elected, organized - organized, foliage - foliage).

2. the word with the suffix "n" is written, if none of the above rules under it falls:

• Cooked - boiled, smoked - smoked, scarlet - scarlet, hotel - hotel, sophisticated - ingenuity, hemp - hemp, peat - peat, oatmeal - oatmeal, etc.

Note

During the derivation of derived nouns, the suffix -nik or -its-, -ik or -its must be attached to the basics of the parts of speech used (nouns, participles or adjectives). For example, a log - a woodpile, a squad of druzhinnik, an exiled - exile, an exile, wood - a woodboy).

Adjectives

Which words with the suffix "n" and "nn" refer to adjectives? To answer this question, consider the following rules:

1. "NN" is placed if:

• Adjectives are formed from nouns by putting suffixes -en- or -on- (for example, celebration is a triumphant, art is artificial, discussion is a discussion, session is sessional;
• Adjectives are formed from adjectives by putting the suffix -en-, which indicates a greater measure of some attribute (for example, wide, hefty, high);
• Adjectives are formed from nouns, in which the stem ends in "n" (for example, length-a-long, million-million feuilleton-feuilleton);
• Adjectives are formed from nouns that end in -yam (for example, time is temporary, seed is seed, flame is flame, etc.).

Notes

The word "windy" is put only one "n". This is due to the fact that it is formed not on behalf of the noun, but from the verb with the help-and- (wind).

Adjectives "sazaniy", "mutton" and others are written with "n", since they are formed from the nouns with the root of "n" by putting the suffix -j-.

In the non-derivative adjectives "ruddy", "spicy" and "young" one "n" is put. As for the derivative part of speech, they also write one "n" (for example, blush, spice, youth, blush).

2. adjectives with the suffix "n":

• Words formed from nouns by putting suffixes -an-, -in- or -yann- (for example, a crane-crane, skin-leather, pigeon-pigeon, clay-clay, etc.). Exceptions should be remembered: tin, glass and wood.

Notes

Suffixes -an- and -yang- give words (that is, names to adjectives) the meaning of any material or object made from any substance (for example, silver, sand).

It is necessary to distinguish the names of adjectives, the meaning of which is directly related to their spelling (for example, windy weather, windy guy, wind pump, chicken pox, oil week, oil pancake, oil eyes, oil paint, oil bottle, etc.).

Full participles and verbal adjectives with "n" and "nn"

The two letters "n" must be placed in the passive participles that stand in the past tense, if they:

• Are formed from prefixing verbs (for example, colored, subtracted, pasted, scanned);
• Have a dependent word (we will give an example: recently a grass-cut grass, a roof painted by an employee, six years ago, a painting written);
• Are formed from verbs without prefixes of perfect kind (for example, to give - given, to throw - abandoned, to deprive - deprived, to execute - executed).

The verbal word with the suffix "n" is written, if the adjectives:

• Are formed from imperfective verbs that do not have prefixes and do not contain suffixes-ovann-or-euvann- (for example, whitened, rabid, blued, boiled, roasted, dried);
• Do not have a dependent word (for example, the floor is painted, the barge is loaded, etc.).

Note

The difference between verbal adjectives and passive participles in some cases can be determined not only by the absence or presence of dependent words or prefixes, but also by meaning.

Here is an example: "melted furnace" and "melted fat". The adjectives in these phrases have completely different properties. In the first case, there is a verbal meaning (that is, a time limit). This definition is expressed by participle. As for the second word, it has a constant sign, that is, it is an adjective.

Short participles and verbal adjectives

In short participles (that is, passive), in contrast to complete participles, only one "n" is put. As for the verbal words, just as in the original words, they always write two "n".

Let us take as an example 10 words with the suffix "n" for short passive participles: read, read, read, labeled, marked, smoked, walked, podrazheno, overhauled, transplanted.

Let us cite as an example several verbal adjectives: educated, spoiled, sublime, etc. It should be noted that such parts of speech have a comparative degree, where two "n" are also put: spoiled, more educated, more exalted.

Note

1. A short verbal word with the suffix "n" is written, if it is formed from the prefix verb, which brings it closer to the sacrament (for example, his eyes were torn, her dress was shabby, etc.).
2. In adverbs and names of nouns that are formed from verbal adjectives or participles, the same "n" is put as much as in the basis of these words (for example, the sacred is the priest, the educated is the pupil, etc.).

Adverbs with "n" and "nn"

Adverbs that end in -o and are formed from passive participles or adjectives are written with one or double "n", depending on the corresponding spelling of the original words.

Let's give some examples:

• adverbs with "nn": unheard of, unintentionally (formed from unheard-of and unintentional), confidently (formed from confident), emotion, emotionally (formed from the agitated);

• 2 words with the suffix "n": confused (formed from muddled), windy (formed from windy), etc.
