udobnije od starih, premda imaju manje sobe. Naroito je velika razlika izmeUstarih i novih kuhinja. Stare kuhinje imaju tednjake za drva i ugalj. Tetednjake domaice mrze i oni brzo i~ezavaju. Sve se vie upotrebljavaju

elektri~ne sprave, narocito tednjaci i reoi na kojim je lake i brze kuhati.To prouzroi s vremena na vrijeme prekidanje struje.

Note 26.1 AdJectives and Adverbs: Comparison, ,

U poreenju sa novim, stare kuce imaju vece i svetlije sobe.U~li smo u mnogo 1 starijih i novljih kua.

The comparative may be made by several suttlxes, one ot whlch ls /-lj/,as shown in these examples: /nov/ 'new' InovlJr.1 Inewer', Istarl 'old

'

Istarlj!/'older'

641


Teletina je najskuplja, a jagnjetina i govedina su najjeftinije.

The superlative is made by the addition of In~jl to the comparative. Inajl isa separate word, and the comparative form after it retains its stress, but thetwo are regularly written together. Compare:

"nov

star

jef'tin

'new'

loIdiI cheap I

novijIstarijIjef'tlnijT

'neweri'olderiIcheaper l

... InajnovijX

n~jstarijTna:jjef'tlnijI

Inewest l101dest lIcheapest l

The sentences above also show that other suf'f'ixes, as well as changes inthe shape of the root or stem, may be involved in comparative forms. CompareIskUp1jxI and Ive~/. The suf'f'ixes used to f'orm the comparative are I-ij-I(Note 26.1.1), I-J-I (Note 26.1.2) and I--I (Note 26.1.3). Regular f'ormationsand those with slight changes are treated in one of' these three categories.Forms having completely dif'ferent shapes are discussed in Note 26.1.4. A fewadjectives may have two comparatives, one with I-J-I and another with I-ij-/)some have no suf'f'ix (see Note 26.1.2).

Comparative f'orms have no long vowels except f'or those of the final endings(I-II, l-al, I-~/, I-rh/, etc.). See examples below.

Adverbs on the same bases have the same forms in the comparative and su-perlative as adjectives, with a neuter singular ending.

Note 26.1.1 Comparative Suffix I-ij-I

siromaan"rano

badpoorearly

loijIslroma.ilnijTranij@

worse

poorerearlier

The most common suf'f'ix f'or the f'ormation of' the comparat1ve is 1-1j-1(although many of' the statistically most frequent words take other sUf'fixes).I-ij-I is followed by the regular (def'1nite) adject1ve endings (I-tl, l-al,I-~/, etc.). Examination of the comparat1ve forms shows that 1-1j-1 1s regularlyadded to bases of more than one syllable. It 1s also added to many bases ofonly one syllab1e. However, many 1f not most one syllable bases take the I-J-Isuf't1x (see Note 26.1.2).

642


Bases with movable /al lose the lal before 1-1j-I, as /sv~tao/ - /svetliji/.The stress of an adjective with I-ij-/ regularly falls on the syllable

preceding I-ij-I (as ljeftini but Ijeftlnijr/, Isiromaan/ but /siromanijI/).Examples of some of the adJectives and adverbs which have occurred and

which have /-ij-/ in the comparative are given in the list below. (The adverbsare indented.) As all syllables but the last are always short in the comparative(see above), a base having a long vowel in the simple form has a short one inthe comparative: Ihladan/ but /hladnijr/.

Note 26.1.2 Comparative surf1x I-J-/s ~erobY-zskfip~~stodug

These adjectives show typical J-changes (see Note 26.2) in the comparative.Note the replacement of IsI by I~I before II in ~ee/. Compare:

visokdaleko

r~dak

highfar offrare

higherfartherrarer

In these words the bases are IVis-I, Idal-I and Ired-I, and the comparativesare formed on these bases. The non-comparative (positive) forms have extensionsin IkI (/-ok/, I-ekI and I-ak/). Comparatives are regularly formed on baseswithout such extensions (but see also below).

difticult, heavy more ditficult, heavier

As the base is here Ite-I, the comparative has no comparative suffix, though ithas the short vowel of the comparative. In this pair it is the positive whichhas the more distinctive form. A similar example is ~1rokl 'wide' /!.rII'wider'. Where the suffix I-J-I might be expected, there is no suf~ix arter theconsonants Ii, 1'1, fil, IrI. Compare the use of lei rather than IJel in thepartic1ples (Note 25.1). An example which differs only 1n the length of thevowel is IvrtJ.l Ihot l IVrUII rhotter l

The forms with I-ij-II I-J-/ and Izerol given above are standard. Thereis in speech considerable variat10n l some speakers using l-iJ-I with a givenword, others I-J-I; some Izero/I others l-iJ-I, etc. For example both /vrUr/

644


and Ivruij!1 may. be heard. Forms in I-Jij-I also occur: IVis~ijil,Igr~ijil, but these are considered non-standard.

IJI changes are well illustrated by the comparatives, as may be seen bythe following:

IJI change IllustrationsIp/ + IJI /plj/ skUp lexpensiver skUpljI Imore expensive lIbl + IJI Ibljl grUb Irough, coarse I grUblji Irougher, coarser lItl + IJI Ii c~st l:frequent l ceI 'more frequent lIdi + IJI Idi mlfid I young I mladi Iyounger lIni + IJI Injl cf-n 'blackl crnjI Iblacker'III + IJI Ilji beo Iwhite l belji 'whiter'

Comparison of Adjectives and Adverbs:Comparatives with /od/, /nego/

Use

vre su i bolje zidane od novih.Zato su novije kue udobnije od starih.Sela izgledaju bolje nego gradovi.Ja sam obraao paznju vie na predele nego na sam voz.

In addition to regular adjective use (descriptive, etc.) or adverb use,comparatives have constructions with /od/ or /nego/ corresponding to English'than'. /od/ is followed by the genitive. Inego/ is followed by a form orconstruction parallel to the one preceding: /gradovi/, nominative plural, paral-lels /sela/, nominative plural. Compare English 'he is better than II. /na samvoz/ parallels /na predele/.

When a verb follows /nego/ it is of course in a /to/ clause:

Ja pijem slau kafu nego to je ova.Jovan trazi veu sobu nego to sad ima.Proveo sam se kod Jovia bolje nego to sam oeekivao.

Note 26.2.2 Comparatives in the Sense of 'rather, somewhat l

KakVU kafu zelite, gospodine, slau ili goreu?

Comparatives are often used in a sense comparable to the adjective withIprilicno/. Islaa kafa/ is 'somewhat sweet, rather sweet coffee', the meaningbeing much the same as if one said /prilicno slatka kafal. (In this expression,however, the comparative is the common way of saying it. The comparatives/slaa kafa/, /gorca kafa/ reflect the fact that coffee in Yugoslavia is nor-mally served with more or less sugar rather than with or without.) The compara-tive adjective is frequently used in the sense of Irather (so-and-so), somewhat(so-and-so)l. The meaning of the comparative may be even weaker than the posi-tive ill such ausage, 'somewhat strong l being not as definite a characterizationas Istrongl.

Grammatical Notes

Note 27.1 /neka/

Neka pregledaju i kocnice i paljenje.Dobro, samo neka poure.Neka, hvala.

UNIT 27

/neka/ (or Ineki) 'let it be so (that)1 may be used as an independentclause, as in the last example, or before a verb, as in the first two. Usedby itself it may mean Ilet it gol, never mindl. Before a verb it usually cor-responds to English Ihave him I, Ihave her I, Ihave them I,'let him I, Ilet her I, Ilet them l, etc. It may also be

------

used in the first person Ilet us I, lmay we I, etc. It may expressthe wish or desire that something be, that it happen. It may also indicate per-mission or acquiescence.

Note 27.2Note 27.2.1

Adjective and Adverb FormationGeneral Remarks

The discussion of the comparative in Note 26.1 brought out the fact thatthe comparative was an adjective formation in its own right, not one formed onthe positive. For example /slai/ is based on the root itself /slad-/, not on/sladak/. The comparative is only one of many adjective formations which occurin Serbo-Croatian. Compare the following list of adjectives which have occurredand related words. The third column is explained below. First examine theother two, comparing the forms

Adjective Related Word Formant(s)drug! drag Icomrade lva~ vAs 'you' -JjesenjI jesen Ifall' -J-

,slobbda 'freedom' -{a)nslobodan

, ,

Iwest'zapadn! zapad -n,

kako 'how' -{a)vkakavenski ena 'woman'

-sk"mukI ma Ihusband' -k-

... ... Iwool lvunen vuna -en

Many adjectives, like /drUgr/, add the adjective endings directly to the root,there is no special adjective formant (suffix) aside from the ending itself.

671


Sometimes the formant is a IJI change, as in Iva~1 or Ijesenj!~ Thethird column above gives a few of the many adjective formants which may occur.Some of these are very frequent and need particular attention. A few of theseare discussed here and in Note 28. Some further details are given in Note 46.1

Due to the close relationship of most adjective and adverb formation,discussion of adjectives includes discussion of adverbs. In these notes adverbforms which are neuters of adjectives will be used as examples along withadjectives where relevant.

Note 27.2.2 Adjective Formant I-oviJovanSmit

JovanSmith

JovanovSmltov

JovanlsSmithis

The I-ovi suffix indicates reference to the specific individual concerned.As a suffix just before the adjective gender and number endings it correspondsto a possessive. Several of the pronominal adjectives are formed with I-ovi:

himthem

njegovnjihov

histheir

I-ovi is also added to masculine nouns which end in consonants or I-oi.Some nouns which have occurred and the corresponding adjectives are:

brat

gospoding5stjUnakkn~Zmf1z

otac

prijatelj

ra:dniksInsrodnik

brother

gentlemanguestheroprincehusband

father

friend

workerson

the gentlemanisthe guestlsthe herolsthe princelsthe husbandls, [my]

husband lsthe father ls, [my]

father lsthe friend's, [my]

friend1sthe workerlsthe Bonls, [my] sonlsthe relative1s


These examples show that the ending is l-evl after palatals. In a few casesthere is a IJI change: /kn~zl but Iknelev/~ Iotaci but lacevl. Iotaci hasmoveable lal; Itl is lost before Icl , so that the roo~ without the lal has theshape loc-/ as in local (accusative, ~enitive). /oc-I plus I-J-evl is lacevl.

The roots Ibratl and /slnl each have two common adjec~ives with loviformants: Ibratovi or Ibratovljev/~ Isrnovl or Isinovljev/. The longer formshave the formants I-ov-J-ev/.

Note 27.2.3 Adjectlve Forrnant I-iniThe formant I-ovi is added to masculine nouns. The formant I-ini (or

I-J-in/) ls added to feminine nouns and to masculine nouns which end in l-al,such as the name ITomai. Compare:

-ln gospoa lady gospoin the lady's

-Jin gospolC'a miss gospoi~in the missIs-in kI daughter " daughter1skcerin the-Jin majka mother maj'6in the mother Es-in

,

sister sestrin che sisterissestrazemlja land , the landEs-in zemljin

Both I-ovi and I-ini adJectives are often used in the sense tmy I:lo~eva kual I[my) father1s housel~ !majcina kua / I[my) mother1s housel~Ibratova kual I[my] brotherEs house r

These endings are in general added to nouns indicating persons. (Theapparent exceptions~ such as /zemlJa/~ may be considered personification. Non-personal nouns have adjectlves made with different formants.)
