Adjective adds details, qualities, or characteristics to enhance our understanding of the subject. Whether it’s describing color, size, shape, or emotions, adjectives bring life to English language.
What is Adjective?
Adjective (विशेषण): An adjective is a word used to qualify a Noun or a Pronoun. (Adjective किसी Noun या Pronoun की विशेषता बताता है।)
- Ram is a good boy.
- He is intelligent.
ऊपर दिए गये वाक्यों में ‘good’ एवं ‘intelligent’ ‘Ram’ एवं ‘he’ की विशेषता बता रहे है। अतः वे Adjective हैं। Adjective का प्रयोग noun के पहले या verb के बाद होता है।
Definition of Adjective
An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun.
Types of Adjective
Adjective आठ प्रकार के है:
- Adjective of Quality (गुणवाचक विशेषण)
- Proper Adjective (व्यक्तिवाचक विशेषण)
- Possessive Adjective (संबंधवाचक विशेषण)
- Adjective of Quantity (परिमाणवाचक विशेषण)
- Adjective of Number (संख्यावाचक विशेषण)
- Demonstrative Adjective (संकेतवाचक विशेषण)
- Distributive Adjective (विभागसूचक विशेषण)
- Interrogative Adjective (प्रश्नवाचक विशेषण)
Adjective of Quality (Descriptive Adjective)
Adjective of Quality: These adjectives describe the qualities, characteristics, or attributes of a noun or pronoun. For example, “tall,” “happy,” “beautiful,” “smart,” etc.
गुणवाचक विशेषण (Adjective of Quality) वह विशेषण है जिससे किसी व्यक्ति, वस्तु या स्थान के गुण या दोष प्रकट होते हैं। Modern English के व्याकरणाचार्य इसे Descriptive Adjective कहते हैं।
Examples of Adjective of Quality (Descriptive Adjective):
- Akbar was a good king. अकबर एक अच्छा राजा था।
- My cow is black. मेरी गाय काली है।
इन वाक्यों में good और black का प्रयोग Adjective of Quality (गुणवाचक विशेषण) की तरह हुआ है क्योंकि good (अच्छा) Akbar की विशेषता प्रकट करता है और black (काली) गाय (cow) की विशेषता प्रकट करता है।
Descriptive Adjective की पहिचान:
Noun में ‘कैसा’ (how) लगाकर प्रश्न पूंछों।
प्रश्न-1. अकबर कैसा राजा था?
उत्तर– अच्छा (good)
अतः उदाहरण 1 में good का प्रयोग Adjective of Quality की तरह हुआ है।
प्रश्न-2. मेरी गाय कैसी है?
उत्तर– काली (black)
अतः उदाहरण 2 में black का प्रयोग Adjective of Quality की तरह हुआ है।
“Adjectives of Quality answer the question : Of what kind?” – P.C. Wren
Proper Adjective
Proper Adjective: These adjectives are derived from proper nouns and begin with a capital letter. They are used to describe specific people, places, or things. For example, “American” (derived from America), “Italian” (derived from Italy), “Shakespearean” (derived from Shakespeare).
Adjective of Quality के अन्तर्गत ही Proper Adjectives भी आ जाते हैं क्योंकि ये Proper Nouns से बनते हैं; जैसे- Indian tea, French wine, English style, American army, Chinese tact, German pride आदि ।
Possessive Adjective
Possessive Adjective: These adjectives show ownership or possession. They include “my,” “your,” “his,” “her,” “its,” “our,” and “their.” For example, “my house,” “your cat,” “his car,” “her book,” etc.
निम्नलिखित उदाहरणों को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़िए-
- My cow is black. मेरी गाय काली है।
- Your shirt is white. तुम्हारी कमीज सफेद है।
- Our school is famous. हमारा स्कूल प्रसिद्ध है।
- Their cycles are new. उनकी साइकिलें नयी हैं।
- His servant is lazy. उसका नौकर आलसी है।
- Her sister is clever. उसकी बहिन चतुर है।
उपर्युक्त वाक्यों में My, Your, Our, Their, His और Her का सम्बन्ध क्रमशः उनके साथ प्रयुक्त Nouns (संज्ञाओं)- cow, shirt, school, cycles, servant तथा sister से है। अतः My, Your, Our, Their, His और Her का प्रयोग Possessive Adjective की तरह हुआ है।
Adjective of Quantity (Quantitative Adjectives)
Adjective of Quantity: These adjectives indicate the quantity or number of the noun. They include “one,” “two,” “few,” “many,” “some,” “several,” “all,” etc. For example, “three cats,” “many books,” “a few friends,” “all students,” etc.
परिमाणवाचक विशेषण (Adjective of Quantity) वह विशेषण है जिससे किसी वस्तु की मात्रा (परिमाण = Quantity) प्रकट हो।
Examples of Adjective of Quantity:
- We ate some rice yesterday. हमने कल कुछ चावल खाये थे।
- You had much money last year. पिछले वर्ष तुम्हारे पास बहुत-सा धन था।
- He has lost all his wealth. उसका सारा धन खो गया है।
- She did not eat any rice. उसने चावल बिल्कुल भी नहीं खाये।
उपर्युक्त उदाहरणों में some, much, all और any का प्रयोग Adjective of Quantity की तरह हुआ है।
पहिचान:- Noun में ‘कितना’ (How much) लगाकर प्रश्न पूंछों।
प्रश्न– हमने कल कितने चावल खाये?,
उत्तर– थोड़े से (some)
अतः प्रथम उदाहरण में some का प्रयोग Adjective of Quantity की तरह हुआ है। इसी प्रकार अन्य उदाहरणों में भी How much का प्रयोग करके Adjective of Quantity का ज्ञान किया जा सकता है।
“Adjectives of Quantity answer the question : How much?” – P.C. Wren
Adjective of Number (Numeral Adjective)
Adjective of Number: A numeral adjective is an adjective that indicates the number or quantity of a noun. or example, “one apple,” “two dogs,” “third place,” “fourth chapter,” “hundredth anniversary,” “last day,” etc.
संख्यावाचक विशेषण (Adjective of Number या Numeral Adjective) से वस्तुओं या व्यक्तियों की संख्या ज्ञात होती है; जैसे-
- Twenty boys;
- Five pictures; Ten rupees;
- Nine servants;
- First place;
- Second hand;
- Two hundred rupees;
- Third Class.
इन उदाहरणों में Twenty, Five, Ten, Nine, Two hundred, तथा First, second, third का प्रयोग संख्यावाचक विशेषण की तरह हुआ है।
संख्यावाचक विशेषण दो प्रकार के होते हैं-
- Cardinal; जैसे one, two, three, four आदि ।
- Ordinal; जैसे First, second, third, fourth आदि ।
“Adjectives of Number answer the question : How many?”

- This का संकेत pen;
- That का संकेत boy;
- These का संकेत books तथा
- Those का संकेत mangoes की ओर है।

Degrees (forms) of Adjectives
Degrees of adjectives refer to the different levels of comparison used to describe the intensity or quality of a noun. There are three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative.
विशेषणों (Adjectives) की तुलनात्मक अवस्थायें (Degrees of comparison) तीन होती हैं-
- Positive Degree (मूल अवस्था)
- Comparative Degree (उच्चतर अवस्था)
- Superlative Degree (उच्चतम अवस्था)
Positive Degree
The positive degree is the basic form of an adjective, without any comparison. It describes a noun without comparing it to others.
जब किसी विशेषण (Adjective) का प्रयोग सामान्य रूप से करना हो तो Positive Degree का प्रयोग किया जाता है; जैसे-
- The cat is cute.
- Mukesh is a tall boy.
- Hari is wise.
Comparative Degree
The comparative degree is used to compare two nouns or sets of nouns. It indicates that one noun has more or less of a quality compared to another. The comparative degree is formed by adding “-er” to shorter adjectives or by using “more” before longer adjectives.
जब किसी व्यक्ति, वस्तु या स्थान के गुण या दोष की तुलना किसी अन्य व्यक्ति, वस्तु या स्थान के गुण या दोष से की जाती है तो Adjective की Comparative Degree का प्रयोग किया जाता है। जैसे-
- The cat is cuter than the dog.
- The cat is more playful than the dog.
- Mukesh is taller than Vijay.
- Hari is wiser than Prakash.
- Which of these two pens is the better?
Superlative Degree
The superlative degree is used to compare one noun or set of nouns to all others in a group. It indicates that one noun has the highest or lowest degree of a quality among all. The superlative degree is formed by adding “-est” to shorter adjectives or by using “most” before longer adjectives.
जब किसी व्यक्ति, वस्तु या स्थान के गुण या दोष की तुलना उस वर्ग के अन्य सभी व्यक्तियों, वस्तुओं या स्थानों के गुण या दोष से की जाती है तो Adjective की Superlative Degree का प्रयोग किया जाता है। जैसे-
- The cat is the cutest in the neighborhood
- The cat is the most playful of all.
- Mukesh is the tallest boy in the family.
- Hari is the wisest boy in the class..
- This tree is the tallest of the three.
- This boy is the strongest in the class.
- A lion is the strongest of all the animals.
ध्यान रखें कि-
- Positive Degree में Adjective की First form (Degree) का प्रयोग होता है।
- Comparative Degree में सामान्यतया Adjective की Second form (Degree) का प्रयोग होता है।
- Second Degree के Adjective के बाद Than आता है।
- Superlative Degree के Adjective से पहले The आता है।
Formation of Comparative and Superlative Degrees
The comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives are formed using different patterns, depending on the length and structure of the adjective.
Here are the general rules for forming the comparative and superlative degrees:
Rule 1. One-syllable adjectives: Positive Degree के Adjective के बाद “er” बढ़ाने से Comparative Degree और “est” बढ़ाने से Superlative Degree के Adjective बन जाते हैं।
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
|---|---|---|
| tall | taller | tallest |
| fast | faster | fastest |
| large | larger | largest |
| brave | braver | bravest |
| strong | stronger | strongest |
| cold | colder | coldest |
| deep | deeper | deepest |
| great | greater | greatest |
| high | higher | highest |
| kind | kinder | kindest |
| poor | poorer | poorest |
| small | smaller | smallest |
Rule 2. One-syllable adjectives ending in “e”: यदि Positive Degree के Adjective के अंत में “e”तो Comparative Degree के अंत में “r” और Superlative Degree में “st” बढ़ाने से Adjective बन जाते हैं।
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
|---|---|---|
| large | larger | largest |
| fine | finer | finest |
| brave | braver | bravest |
| close | closer | closest |
| safe | safer | safest |
Rule 3. One-syllable adjectives ending “y” with a consonant before it: किसी Adjective के अंत में “y” हो और उससे पहले कोई व्यंजन हो तो “y” के स्थान पर “ier” बढ़ाने से Comparative Degree और “iest” बढ़ाने से Superlative Degree के Adjective बन जाते हैं।
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
|---|---|---|
| easy | easier | easiest |
| heavy | heavier | heaviest |
| merry | merrier | merriest |
| wealthy | wealthier | wealthiest |
| happy | happier | happiest |
| funny | funnier | funniest |
| pretty | prettier | prettiest |
| busy | busier | busiest |
| friendly | friendlier | friendliest |
| tidy | tidier | tidiest |
Rule 4. One-syllable adjectives ending in a single consonant with a vowel before it: किसी Adjective के अंत में व्यंजन हो और व्यंजन से पहले कोई स्वर (A, E, I, O, U) हो तो Comparative Degree में “er” और Superlative Degree में “est” बढ़ाने से पहले अंतिम व्यंजन दो बार लिखने से Adjective बन जाते हैं।
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
|---|---|---|
| big | bigger | biggest |
| fat | fatter | fattest |
| hot | hotter | hottest |
| red | redder | reddest |
| sad | sadder | saddest |
| wet | wetter | wettest |
Rule 5. Two or more syllable adjectives: कुछ Adjective में Comparative Degree से पहले “more” और Superlative Degree से पहले “most” का प्रयोग करते हैं।
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
|---|---|---|
| beautiful | more beautiful | most beautiful |
| intelligent | more intelligent | most intelligent |
| creative | more creative | most creative |
| delicious | more delicious | most delicious |
| peaceful | more peaceful | most peaceful |
| spacious | more spacious | most spacious |
| interesting | more interesting | most interesting |
| important | more important | most important |
| comfortable | more comfortable | most comfortable |
| powerful | more powerful | most powerful |
Rule 6. Irregular adjectives: कुछ Adjective के अनियमित और अतिशयोक्तिपूर्ण रूप हैं जो ऊपर उल्लिखित नियमों का पालन नहीं करते हैं। जिनके अद्वितीय रूप होते हैं जिन्हें याद ही करना पड़ता है।
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
|---|---|---|
| little | less | least |
| much | more | most |
| many | more | most |
| late | later | latest |
| well | better | best |
| good | better | best |
| bad | worse | worst |
| old | elder | eldest |
| old | older | oldest |
नोट:- Much का प्रयोग परिमाण (मात्रा) प्रकट करने के लिए होता है जबकि Many का प्रयोग संख्या (Number) प्रकट करने के लिए होता है; जैसे-
- I have to do much work.
- You have many friends.
- There should not be much talk and little work..
- I have taught you many things.
- There is much water in the tank.
- He made many mistakes in his essay.
Older और Oldest का प्रयोग व्यक्तियों और वस्तुओं दोनों के लिए होता है; जैसे-
- Hari is older than Majid. हरी मजीद से उम्र में बड़ा है।
- This is the oldest temple. यह मन्दिर सबसे अधिक पुराना है।
Elder और Eldest का प्रयोग एक ही परिवार के सदस्यों के लिए होता है; जैसे-
- Mira is my elder sister.
- Munish is my eldest brother.
- My elder brother is an engineer.
Elder के बाद Than नहीं आता है।
Junior, Senior, Superior, Inferior के पश्चात to का प्रयोग होता है। इनके साथ Than का प्रयोग नहीं होता है; जैसे-
- I am junior to you. मैं तुमसे छोटा हूँ।
- You are senior to me. तुम मुझसे बड़े हो ।
- This pen is inferior to yours. यह पैन तुम्हारे पैन से घटिया है।
- This model is superior to that. यह मॉडल उस मॉडल से बढ़िया है।
In summary, adjectives play a crucial role in providing descriptions, comparisons, and additional information in sentences. They can be modified to express degrees of comparison, either by adding “-er” and “-est,” using “more” and “most,” or following irregular patterns.
