Dec 9, 2018 at 19:45 comment added Баян Купи-ка not sure i understand you here
Dec 9, 2018 at 19:44 comment added nate so really just the short adjective, tben the long instrumental adjective is wrong, no? eg единственен возможным Реттом...
Dec 9, 2018 at 19:41 comment added Баян Купи-ка the latter is valid but the meaning is not quite the same as in the former
Dec 9, 2018 at 19:40 comment added Баян Купи-ка i rely on the rules and usage i'm familiar with... i can reference one source "В современном русском языке краткие прилагательные изменяются по числам и родам, но не склоняются по падежам"
Dec 9, 2018 at 19:40 comment added nate yes, I do understand the A+B+C vs B1+B2+C and how the midified objects change. But the latter isvalid, no? If not meaning different thingz..
Dec 9, 2018 at 19:38 comment added Баян Купи-ка consider the English phrase unusually powerful ruler, where replacing the adverb unusually with the adjective unusual will ruin its meaning, because it's not the ruler who's unusual but the power he possesses
Dec 9, 2018 at 19:38 comment added nate I'm using James S Levine Russian Grammar and I think all I see is that short adjectives are 'used predicatively after a linking verb, usually быть' Not sure if the author is implying Nominative only because he said 'usually'....
Dec 9, 2018 at 19:33 comment added Баян Купи-ка i don't think it's useful to construe the adverb qualifying an adjective as another adjective, because while the adjective describes the noun the adverb describes the adjective, the construction can be presented as a sequence A+B+C where each member plays its unique role and which can't be replaced with a sequence B1+B2+C
Dec 9, 2018 at 19:26 comment added Баян Купи-ка short adjectives are only possible in Nominal, since here we have Instrumental this form doesn't apply, that's besides its practical inapplicability to the adjective единственный
