    Compound nouns are formed by combining two or more parts of speech, such as noun + noun, noun + verb, or adjective + noun. They can be written as separate words, with a hyphen, or as a single closed word. Knowing the individual meanings of the words that make up a compound noun allows you to understand the meaning of the compound noun. Some examples of Russian compound nouns formed from English words are: день рождения (birthday), книжная полка (bookshelf), and космический корабль (spaceship).

    Compound nouns

    These are words that are formed by adding two or more part of speech together.
    For instance, at the same time, different parts of speech can be combined with each
    other, i.e. noun + verb, noun + noun, adjective + noun, etc. Compound words can
    be written with a hyphen, together, or in two separate words. Accordingly,
    knowing the translation of 2 words, you can automatically name the translation of
    3 words!

    For example:

    1) a birthday – birth (рождение) + day (день) = день рождения

    2) a bookshelf – book (книга) + shelf (полка) = книжная полка

    3) a doorbell – door + bell

    4) online – on + line

    5) wallpaper – wall + paper

    Let’s practice now!


    1) If space – это космос, ship – корабль, then a spaceship – ?

    2) If you know that seaweed – это морские водоросли, sea –море, weed- ?

    3) Out – это снаружи and door – дверь, outdoor - ?


    Forming compound nouns
    There are three forms:
    Closed form:  formed by two separate words joined together.
     Keyboard, notebook, postman, football, housewife, moonlight, eyebrow,
    eyelid, lawsuit, toothpaste, haircut, bedroom.
    Hyphenated form: The words are connected with a hyphen -
     mother-in-law, five-year-old, ex-husband, one-half, dry-cleaning, well-
    being, baby-sitter.
    Open form: there is a space between the two words. Even though they are
    separate, both words together make the noun.
     post office, full moon, vice president, ice cream, swimming pool.

    Form compound nouns by adding one of these words to each of the words below.

    Use a dictionary to check the right spelling, when in doubt.
