Several adjectives in one phrase
Every coordinated or stacked adjective agrees with the same head noun.
- Agreement is repeated on each adjective. Meaning determines whether descriptions are coordinated as parallel properties or form a nested classification.
| Structure | Example | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| stacked | но́вые ру́сские кни́ги | new members of the Russian-book class |
| coordinated | но́вые, интере́сные кни́ги | two parallel descriptions |
| contrast | ста́рые и но́вые дома́ | two adjective groups |
| three modifiers | больши́е све́тлые уче́бные ко́мнаты | size + quality + function |
