Spelling N and NN in adjectives
The number of letters N in adjectives depends on the suffix used to form the word.
If a word is formed using the suffix -N-, doubling of consonants is obtained only if the stem of the generating word ends in N. For example: SLEEP-N-YY, DRUM-N-YY.
If suffixes were used to form a word
–AN-, -YAN-, -IN-, then you need to write one letter N. For example: GUS-IN-Y, SILVER-YAN-Y, LEATHER-AN-Y.
If the suffixes are -ONN- or -ENN-, then two N are written. For example: AVIATION-ONN-YY, SOLOM-ENN-YY.
Remember a few exceptions: GLASS, TIN, WOODEN. These words are written with double N, despite the fact that they were formed using the suffix –YAN-.
Note also the word WINDY. It does not have double consonants, since this adjective was formed not from the noun WIND, but from the obsolete verb VETRETI with the help of the suffix N.
There are also several adjectives for which this rule cannot be applied, for example: YOUNG, RUSH. The fact is that these words were formed without suffixes at all. They contain one H, which is at the root.

The topic of the Russian language “Spelling “n” and “nn” in adjectives” is familiar to every schoolchild. However, after graduating from a general education institution, many people begin to forget the simplest rules and make a large number of mistakes when creating any text. In this regard, we decided to remind you of the cases in which the suffixes “n” and “nn” are written in adjectives. You will also be presented with some exceptions to the current rules. They should be remembered.
Definition of part of speech
They call the nominative, which denotes a non-procedural attribute of an object, and also acts in a sentence as a definition or a nominal part of the predicate and answers the following questions: “which?”, “which?”, “which?”, and also “whose?” and “which ones?”
General information
“Spelling “n” and “nn” in adjectives” is a very important topic in the Russian language. After all, without knowledge of such simple rules, it is quite difficult to compose a literate text or even a letter.
It should be especially noted that adjectives can be formed both from nouns and from verbs. Knowing these basics will allow you to better understand how many “n”s you need to write in a given case.
Spelling "n" and "nn" in adjectives derived from nouns
So, let's figure out together in what cases you should use -nn-:
Which adjectives that come from nouns are spelled "n"?
Now you know in what cases the suffixes -NN- are written in adjectives (-ONN-, -ENN-, etc.) if they are formed from nouns. However, this is not enough to compose the text correctly. In this regard, it is necessary to consider the spelling rules of the suffixes -in-, -yan- and -an-:
- In adjectives that are derived from nouns using the above suffixes, only 1 letter “n” is always written. Let's give an example: leather (leather), sparrow (sparrow), clay (clay), pigeon (dove), wax (wax), crane (crane), wood (firewood), nightingale (nightingale), etc. However, all rules have your exceptions. In this case, the words are “glass”, “wooden” and “tin”. They contain 2 letters “nn”, and you should definitely remember them.
- In adjectives that are formed without using any suffixes. Let's give an example: green (green). You also need to remember the following words: spicy, rosy, porky, young and united.
How many "n"s are there in adjective names that come from adjectives?
2 letters “n” are written if adjective names are formed from adjectives by adding the suffix -enn-, which indicates a greater measure of any attribute. Let's give an example: hefty, tall or wide.
Important notes regarding the rules described
The spelling of “n” and “nn” in adjectives also has the following features:
Spelling "nn" in adjectives and participles derived from verbs
So, 2 letters “n” should be written if:
- Adjectives are formed from verbs with prefixes. Moreover, the prefix “non” almost never affects the spelling of “n” or “nn”. Thus, in an adjective with you should not write the same number of letters “n” as in an adjective without this prefix. Let's give an example: (tied, beveled, built).
- If there are suffixes such as -eva- or -ova-. Let's give an example: an organized excursion, an uprooted forest, etc.). The following words are exceptions: chewed And forged. In this case, ov- and ev- are part of the root, and are not suffixes.
- If the sentence contains any dependent word (for example, wicker).
- If the adjective is formed from a verb that has a perfect form (for example, solved). The exception is the word “wounded”.
Spelling "n" in adjectives derived from verbs
One letter "n" is written in adjectives that are derived from verbs without the use of prefixes. Let's give an example: uncut, knitted. The exceptions are the following words: sacred, slow, unprecedented, unexpected, desired, unheard, unexpected and unexpected.
Letters "n", "nn" in short adjectives
In addition to the full names of adjectives, the Russian language also has short forms. To understand how “n” and “nn” are written in short adjectives, you should remember the rules about full ones. After all, they are the same for both forms.
Here's an example:
Important notes on the material covered
To finally understand how to write adjectives (with “n” or “nn”), you need to consider the following features:
1. Usually the suffixes -yan- and -an- give the meaning “intended for something” or “made of a certain material.” For example: wood, clothes; sandy, clay.
2. To compose a text correctly, you should distinguish between adjectives whose spelling is related to their meaning.
Windy, that is, “with the wind” (windy weather). Wind powered, that is, “powered by the power of the wind” (wind pump). In the phrase “chicken pox” the adjective name is written with 1 letter “n”. This is due to the fact that this word comes from “chickenpox”.
Buttered, that is, “soaked in oil” (butter porridge). Oily, that is, “flattering” (oily voice). Butter, that is, “diluted in butter” (butter cookies).
Silver, that is, “subjected to silvering” (silver device). Silver, that is, “made of silver” (silver bottle).
Salty, that is, “containing salt” (salted fish). Solyanoy, that is, “consisting of salt” (salt column).
1. With one letter n are written:
1). Adjectives with a non-derivative base: red, young, blue. There is no suffix in such adjectives. The letter n is part of the root.
2). Denominate adjectives with the suffix -n: winter (from: winter), summer (from: summer).
3). Denominate adjectives with the suffixes -an, -yan: sandy, silver (adj. meaning “name of material, substance”), and -in: mouse, sparrow (adj. meaning “accessories”).
Exception:
wooden, tin, glass write with two letters NN.
4). Verbal adjectives, if there is no prefix and explanatory word: fried meat.
Exception:
Write with two letters NN words from the list:
given, arrogant, abandoned, desired, bought, seen, made, cutesied, captivated, deprived, sacred, read, desperate, minted, cursed, unheard of, unseen, unexpected, unforeseen
Don't be confused!
The list of exceptions does not include words uninvited, uninvited, named, which are consistent with the data above. Write them according to the rule: unsolicited advice, uninvited guest,sworn brother.
5). Short adjectives in the masculine singular form: advice is valuable - (m.r.), as well as short adjectives in all other forms if they are formed from full adjectives with one letter n: red girl (from the full form with one letter n: red), the sun is red, the girls are red.
7). Adverbs ending in -o and -e, formed from adjectives with one letter n: windy, neat.
2. With two letters NN are written:
1). Denominate adjectives with the suffix -n if the noun root ends in a letter n: autumn, spring, sleepy.
2). Denominate adjectives with suffixes -enn, -onn: alphabetic, portioned.
Exception:
flighty man, windmill, chicken pox, But windless day,leeward side.
3). Verbal adjectives with the suffix -nn: uprooted area, defective item.
Figure out how the word is formed: defective ← reject + nn.
Write the suffix -NN in verbal adjectives formed from a generating stem with suffixes: -eva//-ova, -eva: uprooted←uproot, formed←form.
It’s easier to remember this way: adjectives ending in eva+nn+y, ova+nn+y, eva+nn+y.
4). Exceptional adjectives:
Exception: wooden, tin, glass write with two letters - NN .
Exception: given, swaggering, abandoned, desired, bought, seen, made, cutesy, captive, deprived, sacred, read, desperate, embossed, damned, unheard of, unprecedented, inadvertent, unexpected(see point 5).
5). Passive past participles, if there are prefixes or explanatory words: a written essay, mittens knitted (by whom?) by grandmother, as well as participles and verbal adjectives formed from perfective verbs without prefixes: bought, abandoned, given (the latter are included in the list of words for memorization in paragraph 5 along with other examples).
6). Short adjectives formed from the full form with two letters NN(except for the form m.r. singular, in which there is always one letter n): the night is moonless, advice is valuable.
7). Adverbs ending in -o and -e, formed from adjectives with two letters NN: sincerely, thoughtfully, calmly.
To avoid mistakes in spelling N And NN in short adjectives, short participles and adverbs, you must remember the following:
1. In a sentence, adjectives and short participles act as predicates.
2. A short participle in which one letter is always written N, can be replaced by a verb in the past tense form. With a participle, as a rule, there is a dependent word denoting the producer of the action (noun or pronoun in the like):
frightened girl N A(how?) knocking(t.p.) – the knock scared the girl.
3. Short adjective answers questions WHAT? WHAT? WHAT ARE THERE? It can be replaced with an adjective in its full form. A short adjective says so much N, how much in full form:
things(what are they?) graceful N s (gracefully N y),
behavior(what?) art NN O (art NN y).
4. An adverb in a sentence is an adverb of the manner of action and refers to the verb. So much is written in the adverb N, how much is in the word from which it is derived:
sang(How?) beautiful N oh (beautiful N y);
spoke(How?) excited NN o (excited NN y).
!!! Algorithm for choosing n and nn:
Girl(what?) disciplined NN and also organizing NN a (disciplined NN organized and organized NN ah)– short adjective; so much is written N, how much is in the word from which it is derived.
The excursion is organized N and by the parents (the parents organized the excursion)- short participle; one letter is written N.

Aerobatics - determining the quantity n on the go.
You can, but not right away.
Sequence of actions
To begin with, we always determine the part of speech. This must be done according to the question that we ask by the way.
- Noun - Who? What?
- Adjective - Which?
- Short adjective - what?
- Adverb - How?
- Communion - Which?
- Short participle - what?
- Verbal adjective - Which?
You already have a question: how to distinguish between those parts of speech that answer the same question?
Adjectives and participles
An adjective is formed from a noun, and a participle is formed from a verb.
Long- it's an adjective because it answers a question Which? and derived from the noun length.
Strewn- this is a participle because it answers a question Which? and is derived from the verb put to sleep.
By the way, participles also have characteristic suffixes. In the forms of the present tense: -ush-, -yush-, -ash-, -yash-, -eat-, -om-, -im-. In the past tense forms: -vsh-, -sh-, -in-, -t-, -enn-, -yonn-, -nn-. These suffixes are used as an additional check to see if you have identified the part of speech correctly.
Participles and verbal adjectives
Now we have another problem: both participles and verbal adjectives are formed from a verb. Both answer the question Which?. How to distinguish them?
Firstly, the verbal adjective is formed from an imperfective verb, and the participle is formed from a perfective verb.
How to determine the type of a verb? Easily. If he answers the question what to do?, then the form is imperfect (indicates an unfinished action). If he answers the question what to do?, then the perfect form (denotes a completed action).
Secondly, verbal adjectives do not have dependent words.
A dependent word is a word to which you can ask a question from the main word.
Try to determine for yourself which of these words is a participle and which is a verbal adjective: a solved problem, a loaded car.
Answer. Solved- participle. Here are all the arguments: it answers the question Which?; derived from the verb decide; this verb is perfect because it answers a question what to do?.
Loaded- verbal adjective. And here's why: answers the question Which?; derived from the verb load; this verb is imperfect because it answers a question what to do?; there are no dependent words.
In order for a verbal adjective to become a participle, it is enough to do one of two things:
- Add a dependent word.
A car loaded with people. Loaded by whom?- a person. Now this is a sacrament. - Change the form of the verb.
Loaded car. Derived from the verb download which answers the question what to do? and therefore refers to the perfect form.
Short adjectives and short participles
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- Realized that the word answers the question what?.
- We think from what full form the word is formed.
- We determine the part of speech of the full form (read the differences between adjectives and participles above).
Here is a table for clarity.
Hooray. Now we know which part of speech our word belongs to.
Applying the rules
Look how simple it is once we know the part of speech:
We also write two letters n in participles with suffixes -ova- And -Eve-.
In a word asphalted we write NN, because there is a suffix -ova-.
Make sure that -ova- or -Eve- They were just suffixes. In words forged And chewed there are no such suffixes. They have roots cov- And chew-. These words contain one letter n, because they belong to verbal adjectives.
You also need to remember the words: unexpected, unexpected, seen, unseen, seen, read, heard, unheard, desired. Just remember them.
It remains to deal with adjectives, nouns and adverbs.
In adjectives and nouns we write one n only in one case: if there is a suffix -en-, -yan-, -in-: leather en oh, silver yang oh, chickens in oh, sand en ik. Exceptions: glass, tin, wood.
We write in adjectives NN in the following cases:
- In suffixes -onn-, -enn-: station onn oh, time enne y.
- If a word is formed from a noun whose stem ends in -n: tuma NN y.
Pay special attention to the second point. Without it you would write in the word fog one letter n, since there is a suffix -en-. But this word has no suffix -en-! Why? Because -an- is part of the root. The word is formed from a noun fog, the stem of which ends in n. Adjectives are written by analogy pocket, long, citric and many others. Don't forget about this rule.
Words windy, buttery, oil are not adjectives, since they are formed from verbs: wind, oil. Here everything works according to the rules of verbal adjectives and participles. Or just remember that these three words are spelled with the same letter n. In other cases, already with two (wind n oh, no wind NN y).
OK. What about short adjectives?
Everything is simple here: they contain the same number of letters n, how many and in full.
What about adverbs?
It's the same story here. We write the same amount n, how much is in the word from which the adverb is formed.
Slowly- an adverb because it answers a question How?. Derived from an adjective slow. In this adjective we write NN in the suffix -enn-, so we write it the same way in adverbs.
Attention! An adverb can be formed not only from an adjective, but also from other parts of speech. For example, confusing to explain. The logic here is tricky. Adverb confusing derived from the word confused, which is a verbal adjective (answers the question Which?; no dependent words; derived from an imperfective verb confuse). Because confused is a verbal adjective, then in it we write one n. And if so, then we write the same amount in the adverb that is derived from it.
A little exercise. Explain the production n-nn in a sentence.
Pickled mushrooms, fried sausage, buttered rye cakes, condensed milk, beef liver, baked potatoes rolled a little in ashes, and a sip of a drink infused with some outlandish drug will seem delicious in the fresh air for the most sophisticated gourmet.
