1.Qualitative adjectives
are used to describe the features or 
qualities of a noun( a person, place, thing, idea, etc.). Most of these 
adjectives have degrees of comparison. They are usually used before 
the word they modify. Some qualitative adjectives such as greenish, 
darkish, incurable, unsuitable, chief, principal have no degrees of 
comparison in English. Most of qualitative adjectives can be used as 
attributes and predicatives. They are mostly abstract and perceived 
through our senses : boring, funny, silky, black, rough, yellow, clean, 
dirty, tall, short, sad, fat, plump, round, interesting, pathetic, amazing. 
The qualitative adjectives given above evaluate or give opinions about 
subjects, types of tastes , smell, sounds and textures of different types 
of touch.

yomon, semiz, qotma, sho’x, yosh, shirin, achchiq, nordon. These

comparison:qizilroq, yaxshiroq, shirinroq, nordonroq. 
Quantitative adjectives
describe the measurement, that is,
count or amount of any living beings or non-living things. These 
adjectives state the number or amount of living-beings/ things ; they 
simply state the information which our eyes can perceive or state. 
However , the measurement is not in exact numbers, to some extent we 
can count or weigh the meaning of quantitative adjectives, they are 
mostly concrete. These adjectives express some additional and 
quantitative meanings of the noun they modify: some, few, a few, little, 
a little , all, enough, any, whole, sufficient, none , half, many, much,
