(-ой) Adjectives with final stress

Adjectives in the nominative, singular, masculine may end in either -ый or -ой. Those ending in -ой are stressed on the ending in all cases.

большой красный плакат large red poster

такой же шутник (you're) the same jokester

второй класс second grade

другой учитель a different teacher

на другой день the next day

какой будет первый вопрос? what's the first question

We will not mark the nom, sg, masc adjective forms in -ой, since their stress is predictable.

Since it is not possible to predict final stress in adjectives (other than in nom sg masc), we'll mark each instance ten times as it occurs in the text and then just occassionally after that for a reminder.

Note that not all adjective endings -ой are for the nom, sg, masc. That ending also occurs in the gen, prep, dat, and instr sg fem. These may or may not have have final stress:

на большой перемене during the long break (prep, sg, fem)

новая стенгазета, в которой the new wall newspaper, in which (prep, sg, fem)

с двойкой нечего было лезть вперёд I couldn't get ahead with a D grade (inst, sg, fem)
