Adjective to noun conversion is also called deadjectival. Nouns are often treated as parts of 
phrases where the noun is missing: 
bitter (beer), natural (talent), comic (actor), regular (customer), daily (newspaper), 
roast(beef), final (game, race).[9:25] 
Like other languages, the similarities and dissimilarities of conversion in English can be 
learned comparatively with Karakalpak language and through this investigation language learners 
will be aware about the ways of forming words using this aspect in both abovementioned languages.
The conversion in Karakalpak can usually be from adjective forming noun whose functions 
are transferred from one part of speech to second different one. The particular word group is 
distinguished from other word groups by its specific grammatical meanings and forms. However, 
when one word group is transferred to another word group in a lexical-semantic way, it loses its 
previous grammatical meanings and forms. In language, this process is called substantivation. This 
can usually be met in proverbs in Karakalpak.[6] Example: 
Jaqsınıń jatı bolmaydı 
Jamannıń uyatı. (Karakalpak national proverb)
 
Erteńgisin 
oylamańan erkekten bez. (Karakalpak national proverb)[8]
 
In this example the words 
jaqsı, jaman
(good, bad-adjective) and 
erteńgi (tomorrow-adverb)
are adjective and adverb in fact. But in the examples given above they lose their main functions 
being changed as a noun.

In the examples given above the words 
tentek, jaralı, kesel, ǵárip, mómin, námárt, márt,ıssı, 
suwıq,ǵarrı they are
all adjectives but in these examples the words are changing to nouns accepting 
the affixes belonging only to nouns. In contrast to English language, in Karakalpak conversion 
process is mostly found between adjective and nouns in which adjectives convert to nouns omitting 
some words making them the adjective. For example, the word "adam" joins to the adjectives given 
in the examples above, this will not be the conversion process. They have received the affixes like 
kóplik, tartim, seplik that nouns get in most occasions. Getting these affixes, they are forming new 
words from an existing word belonging to adjective. Other parts of speech can also be converted but 
it is rare.
