THE MEANINGS OF THE SUFFIX “K” IN THE COMPOSITION OF NOUNS IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND THE WAYS OF EXPRESSING THEIR EQUIVALENTS IN THE PERSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article considers the suffix -k- in the composition of nouns in Russian and the ways of expressing their equivalents in Persian. The problem is that in Russian the active suffix -k- forms nouns with different meanings, such as subjective-evaluative meaning, the meaning of femininity, singularity, object and action. However, Persian-speaking students sometimes do not have sufficient knowledge about these meanings. In Russian, these nouns are formed by adding the suffix -k- to the stem of adjectives, nouns, numerals and verbs. Each of the options has its own formation conditions. The aim of the present article is to identify various meanings of this suffix in Russian and to determine its equivalents in Persian. It was revealed that the majority of formed nouns are feminine nouns, and the Russian suffix -k- is conveyed in Persian by suffixes, adjectives and nouns.
