ADJ: adjective

Definition

Adjectives are words that typically modify nouns and specify their properties or attributes. They may also function as predicates, as in

Example: [bg] Колата е зелена / Kolata e zelena (The car is green.)

The ADJ tag is intended for ordinary adjectives only. See DET for determiners and NUM for numerals.

In Bulgarian the words that map to the ADJ tag from the BulTreeBank tagset are:

Example: [bg] добър / dobar (good) 7-годишен / 7-godishen (seven-years-old)

Example: [bg] Иванова книга / Ivanova kniga (Ivan’s book)

Example: [bg] втори / vtori (second)

Example: [bg] идващ / idvasht (coming)

Example: [bg] намерен / nameren (found)

Example: [bg] направил / napravil (made)

Note that the symbol `#’, used in the Universal POS section indicates a holder for arbitrary number of features, suppressed in the respective tag as irrelevant in the BulTreeBank tagset, when mapped to the Universal one.
