Suffix

  1. Used to form adjectives from nouns, often relational.
    ‎пла́стик (plástik, “plastic”) + ‎-овый (-ovyj) → ‎пла́стиковый (plástikovyj, “plastic”)
    ‎ба́за (báza, “base”) + ‎-овый (-ovyj) → ‎ба́зовый (bázovyj, “base, basic”)

Usage notes

The suffix is added to the stem (i.e. without final vowels, as in ба́з- and сосн- above, and without epenthetic vowels, as in кулачк- above). The stress of the base form is preserved. If the stress of the base is on a lost vowel, it is transferred to the suffix.
