Russian

Alternative forms

Etymology

Compare the past-passive-participle suffix -анный (-annyj).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [ənɨj]

Suffix

-аный • (-anyj)

  1. Suffix used to form passive-participle-like adjectives from verbs in -ать (-atʹ).
    вяза́ть (vjazátʹ, “to knit”) → вя́заный (vjázanyj, “knitted”)
    пу́тать (pútatʹ, “to tangle, to confuse”) → пу́таный (pútanyj, “tangled, confusing”)

Usage notes

For most such adjectives, short forms in -ан (-an), -ана (-ana), -ано (-ano), -аны (-any) exist theoretically, but are usually avoided due to ambiguity with the short forms of the corresponding past passive participle in -анный (-annyj); but this doesn't apply to some adjectives, e.g. пу́таный (pútanyj), where the short forms are in normal use.
