Russian Short Adjectives. Adjectives in Russian have a full and short form. These forms are used in different situations. Not all Russian adjectives can have a short form, but only adjectives from which we can form a comparative degree. For example: старый: we can say “более старый” (elder) or “менее старый” (less old). Thus, we can form a short form from this adjective - “стар”, “старА”, “старО”, “старЫ”. There are three ways to form short adjectives and a few exceptions: 1 We remove the ending of the full adjective and add the ending -A for feminine, -O for neuter, and -Ы for plural: новый: нов, новА, новО, новЫ белый: бел, белА, белО, белЫ 2 For combinations of consonants with the letter K. We put O between the consonant and K in the masculine gender and add the ending -A for the feminine gender, -O for the neuter and -И for the plural: Сладкий: сладОк, сладкА, сладкО, сладкИ Мягкий: мягОк, мягкА, мягкО, мягкИ 3 For combinations of consonants with the letter H. We put E between the consonant and the H in the masculine gender and add the ending -A for the feminine gender, -O for the neuter and -Ы for the plural: Бедный: бедЕн, беднА, беднО, беднЫ Приятный: приятЕн, приятнА, приятнО, приятнЫ Exceptions: Горький: горек, горька, горько, горьки Полный: полон, полна, полно, полны Злой: зол, зла, зло, злы Changing E to Ë and Ë to E Sometimes, when forming short adjectives, E turns into Ë and vice versa. Such cases are best remembered. Сильный: силëн, сильна, сильно, сильны Умный: умëн, умна, умно, умны Весëлый: весел, весела, весело, веселы There are no special rules for stating stress in short adjectives. It's better to learn them. The only thing is that in the neuter gender the stress usually does not coincide with the stress of the adverb. For example, Чувство его было СильнО – short adjective; Он любил еë СИльно – adverb Short adjectives do not change by case.
