MELLÉKNEVEK FOKOZÁSA

A MELLÉKNEVEK FOKAI

A mellékneveknek az angolban és a magyarban is hagyományosan három fokozata van:

alapfok, középfok, felsőfok.

magyarban angolban
Nincs jele Nincs jele
alapfok pl. nagy, gyönyörű pl. big, beautiful
Mindig a -BB a jele Kétféle módon hozhatjuk lére:

pl. nagyobb a) toldalékos formával

gyönyörűbb
jele: -ER
pl. bigger
középfok
b) összetett formával

jele: MORE + a melléknév alapalakja

pl. more beautiful

Mindig a LEG …BB a jele Ezt is kétféle módon hozhatjuk lére:

pl. legnagyobb a) toldalékos formával

leggyönyörűbb
jele: -EST
pl. biggest
felsőfok
b) összetett formával

jele: MOST + a melléknév alapalakja

pl. most beautiful

Létezik még egy, a túlzófok:

magyarban angolban
Jele: LEGESLEG …BB Jele: VERY + a melléknév felső foka

pl. legeslegnagyobb pl. the very biggest

legesleggyönyörűbb the very most beautiful
A toldalékos forma használata (Középfok: -er Felsőfok: -est)

A) Ha a melléknév EGY SZÓTAGÚ (kiejtésben!)

pl.

nice nicer nicest short shorter shortest

(szép) (szebb) (legszebb) (rövid) (rövidebb) (legrövidebb)

big bigger biggest

(nagy) (nagyobb) (legnagyobb)

Helyesírási tudnivaló:
- 1 magánhangzó + 1 mássalhangzó (kivéve: w és y) betűre végződő melléknevek esetén a toldalék előtt a
mássalhangzó megkettőződik.
pl. big – bigger, biggest

- A szóvégi néma –e a toldalék előtt kiesik!

pl. nice – nicer, nicest

B) Ha a melléknév -Y, -OW, -LE, -ER vagy -SOME végződésű és két szótagú

pl.

happy happier happiest narrow narrower narrowest

(boldog) (boldogabb) (legboldogabb) (keskeny) (keskenyebb) (legkeskenyebb)

simple simpler simplest clever cleverer cleverest

(egyszerű) (egyszerűbb) (legegyszerűbb) (okos) (okosabb) (legokosabb)

handsome handsomer handsomest

(jóképű) (jóképűbb) (legjóképűbb)

Helyesírási tudnivaló:
-y-ra végződő melléknevek esetén a toldalék előtt az ”–y” ”–i”-re változik!
pl. happy – happier, happiest
C) Ha a melléknév KÉT SZÓTAGÚ, és a MÁSODIK SZÓTAG A HANGSÚLYOS

pl.

polite /pə'laɪt/ politer politest

(udvarias) (udvariasabb) (legudvariasabb)

Az összetett forma használata

(Középfok: more + alapalak Felsőfok: most + alapalak)

A) Ha a melléknév 3 VAGY TÖBB SZÓTAGÚ (kiejtésben!)

pl.

beautiful more beautiful most beautiful

(gyönyörű) (gyönyörűbb) (leggyönyörűbb)

B) Ha a melléknév KÉT SZÓTAGÚ, és az ELSŐ SZÓTAG A HANGSÚLYOS

pl.

famous more famous most famous

(híres) (híresebb) (leghíresebb)

C) Ha a melléknév IGÉBŐL vagy FŐNÉVBŐL KÉPZETT vagy ÖSSZETETT

pl.

annoyed more annoyed most annoyed

(ideges) (idegesebb) (legidegesebb)
(az ”annoy” =’ idegesít, nyugtalanít’ igéből képzett melléknév)

confusing more confusing most confusing

(zavarbaejtő) (zavarbaejtőbb) (legzavarbaejtőbb)
(a ”confuse” = ’összezavar, zavarba ejt’ igéből képzett melléknév)
 hopeless more hopeless most hopeless
(reménytelen) (reménytelenebb) (legreménytelenebb)
(a ”hope” = ’remény’ főnévből képzett melléknév)

short-sighted more short-sighted most short-sighted

(rövidlátó) (rövidlátóbb) (legrövidlátóbb)
(két szó összetételéből keletkezett melléknév)

Rendhagyó fokozású melléknevek és határozatlan számnevek

much, many (sok) → more – most (több – legtöbb)

little (kevés) → less – least (kevesebb – legkevesebb)
Vigyázat! A ”little” csak a megszámlálhatatlan főnevekkel jelenti azt, hogy „kevés”! A megszámlálható
főnevek előtt a „kevés” szót a ”few” jelöli az angolban, és az már nem rendhagyó fokozású!
bad (rossz) → worse – worst (rosszabb – legrosszabb)
good (jó)→ better – best (jobb – legjobb)
far (távolra, messze)→ further – furthest (tovább– legtovább)
(messzi, távoli)→ farther – farthest (messzebbi, távolabbi – legmesszebbi, legtávolabbi)

ÖSSZEHASONLÍTÓ MONDATOK

ALAPFOKÚ ÖSSZEHASONLÍTÁS: egy tulajdonság azonos mértékének kifejezése

(olyan …, mint)

AS + alapfokú melléknév + AS

pl. Mary is as tall as Joe. (Mary olyan magas, mint Joe.)

She is as clever as me. (Ugyanolyan okos, mint én.)
Mj.: Ha az „as” után személyes névmás áll, a tárgyas alakját használjuk!

Tagadása (nem olyan / annyira …, mint)

NOT AS + alapfokú melléknév + AS

Vagy:
Not so
 pl. Mary is not as tall as Peter./ Mary is not so tall as Peter.
(Mary nem olyan magas, mint Peter.)
She is not as clever as me. / She is not so clever as me. (Nem olyan okos, mint én.)

KÖZÉPFOKÚ ÖSSZEHASONLÍTÁS: egy tulajdonság nagyobb mértékének kifejezése

(…bb, mint vagy: …bb …nál)

Középfokú melléknév + THAN

pl. Mary is taller than Joe. (Mary magasabb, mint Joe.)

She is cleverer than me. (Okosabb nálam.)

Mj.: Ha a „than” után személyes névmás áll, a tárgyas alakját használjuk!

● Ha az eltérés mértékét is meg akarjuk adni, azt a középfokú melléknév elé tesszük,
bármiféle elöljárószó nélkül
pl. Mary is a bit taller than Joe. (Mary egy kicsit magasabb, mint Joe.)
She is a lot cleverer than me. (Sokkal okosabb nálam.)
Pete is 5 kg’s heavier than me. (Pete 5 kg-mal nehezebb, mint én.)
Linda is 5 cm’s shorter than Lucy. (Linda 5 cm-rel alacsonyabb Lucy-nél.)
My father is five years older than my mother. (Apukám 5 évvel idősebb anyukámnál.)

Megjegyzés:
- HALADÓKNAK:
Különleges szerkezetet használunk a „MINÉL …BB, ANNÁL …BB” kifejezésére.
Ilyenkor a magyar „minél” és az „annál” kifejezés megfelelője az angolban a ’THE’, melyet szintén a középfok követ,
majd a mondat többi része a már ismert szórendi szabályok szerint épül fel:

THE + középfok + a mondat normális + THE + középfok + a mondat normális

szórendben szórendben

pl. Minél okosabb vagy, annál jobban tisztelnek az emberek.

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
The cleverer you are the more the people respect you.

Minél kevesebbet eszel annál csinosabbá válsz.

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
The less you eat the prettier you become.
FELSŐFOKÚ ÖSSZEHASONLÍTÁS: egy tulajdonság legnagyobb mértékének kifejezése
(a leg …bb)

THE + felsőfokú melléknév + of sy. (vkik közül)

+ somewhere (vhol)

pl. Mary is the tallest of us. (Barbara a legmagasabb közülünk.)

She is the cleverest in our school. (Ő legokosabb az iskolánkban.)

Megjegyzés:
- HALADÓKNAK:
Kifejezhetjük azt is, hogy valamilyen tulajdonság KISEBB MÉRTÉKBEN van meg az egyik dologban (kevésbé
…, mint). Ehhez a következő formát kell alkalmaznunk:

LESS + alapfokú melléknév + THAN

pl. Mary is less clever than Joe. (Mary kevésbé okos, mint Joe.)
I am less enthusiastic than you. (Kevésbé vagyok lelkes, mint te.)
