In Russian, words are formed in various ways. Let's talk about one of them.
Addition as a way of forming words
This method is a combination of two words in one, consisting not of one root, but of several. Independent parts of speech, forming such a lexical unit, are preserved in whole or in part. In a compound word, there are often connecting vowels o or e between the roots. If one of the parts is a numeral, then the vowel and: seven years old. There are also lexemes whose stems are directly related.
Let's show, for example, how compound units are formed with the root -water-:
- from whole words: Juice-Water kiosk;
- from the basics without connecting. vowels: Burvod microdistrict;
- from the basics with connect. vowels: water carrier;
- from part of the stem and the whole word: gas water;
- from the basics with the addition of a suffix: water heater.
This is how compound words with the root -water- are formed.

Text about the reservoir
To reinforce the topic, read and find difficult words from the text.
The nature of Siberia is rich. There is even a man-made sea called the Krasnoyarsk Sea. This reservoir was created as a result of the construction of the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station on the Yenisei River, the most full-flowing in Siberia. The widest point of this sea is fifteen kilometers, and the deepest point is one hundred and five meters.
The southern part of the man-made sea - sandy beaches, ideal for swimming and relaxing.
There are many places where tourists come: some of them are crowded, they come there by car, others are secluded, you can get there by boat or yacht.
The favorite pastime of vacationers is visiting the spillway. The deafening noise of water cascading down the ledges, splashes in which a rainbow is formed - all this is so impressive that it is impossible to remain indifferent. I can't believe this magnificent waterfall was created by human hands.
Another of the sights of the Krasnoyarsk Sea is the Biryusinsk caves. They are open to the public. These stone labyrinths amaze both amateurs and speleologists with their corridors and halls. Some may be up toseveral kilometers. Grottoes and galleries, passages and passages - everything is magnificent, mysterious and enigmatic. Anyone who has visited this place at least once remembers for a long time the enfilades of stalactites, underground lakes and the reflections of water on the stone walls in the blue twilight.
Everyone can find something interesting for themselves on this man-made sea.
