Meaning groups of adjectives and their substantivization

A noun that an adjective modifies is sometimes dropped in a sentence. Then its meaning passes to the adjective, which becomes a noun. A substantivized adjective takes plural, possessive and case suffixes and plays a noun’s role: subject, object, predicate. For example, instead of Katta odamlar kichik bolalarga yordam beradi we say Kattalar kichiklarga yordam beradi (The big ones help the small ones, i.e. adults help children). In Qizil olmani emas, sariqni tanla (Choose not the red apple but the yellow one) sariqni is substantivized. We decide by its function in the sentence.
