The adjective 165 істбрико-філологічний факультет history and language-and-literature faculty (independent) торговельно-морськйй флот merchant navy (lit. 'trading-maritime fleet') (more closely linked, with hyphen) яскраво-синій bright blue (the same, typical of shades of colour and of taste) світло- bright-, light- темно- dark- сіро-зелений grey-green кйсло-солодкий sweet-and-sour Where a hyphen is written one might consider the stress on the first component to be secondary. The hyphen may be missing in such cases too (the rule would be that a hyphen is present where the compound is less integrated, thus the first of the two examples below is in a sense two colours, while the second, without a hyphen, is one), for example, жовто-блакйтний yellow-blue жовтогарячий fire-yellow and where the first component comes from загальний 'common', 'general', 'universal', for example, загальновживаний generally accepted/used загальнообов'язковий binding on all Similar to the more tightly linked compounds are those which are often considered subordinate, where the first element may be seen as syntactically dependent on the second. If the second element is a part of the body, such compound adjectives are suffixless, for example: білолиций white-faced повновидий chubby (lit. 'full-faced') синьоокий blue-eyed Otherwise we find a suffix, as in вузькоглядний 'narrow-minded', чорноморський 'Black-Sea'. These two types of compound adjectives are both made up of an adjective followed by a noun. We find also sequences of noun and adjective, noun and verb, and numeral and noun, each suffixed unless a part of the body is involved, for example: життєрадісний buoyant, jovial вогнепальний capable of being fired/ шестикрилий six-winged shot кількаповерховий multi-storeyed двомовний bilingual The first component may be an adverb, for example: густонаселений densely populated
