100+ K Adjectives in English

K is one of the least used letters in the English alphabet; it is the fifth least frequently used (with the letters V, X, Z, J, and Q being used less frequently). As a result, you will find very few adjectives that start with K.

Adjectives are words that serve as modifiers of nouns or pronouns. They do this primarily by describing or giving more information about a specific quality, or part of the word.

 types of adjectives:-

Descriptive adjectives: clarify a quality (such as known),

Proper adjectives: come from proper nouns (such as French food),

Adjectives of quantity: that indicate amount (such as many),

Numeral adjectives: that indicate number (such as two),

Interrogative adjectives: that are used when asking questions (such as which),

Demonstrative adjectives: that point out something specific (such as this),

Possessive adjectives: that indicate ownership (such as my).

Adjectives that Start with K-

The letter K can be traced back to the Greek letter Kappa, which came from the Semitic Kaph. Prior to that, a form of K appeared in Egyptian hieroglyphs where it represented the word “hand.” When Greek words were absorbed into Latin, the letter C replaced the K. As a result, the Romance Languages (such as Italian, French, and Spanish) infrequently use the letter K. In the 12th Century, however, K was reintroduced and replaced the letter C at the start of words that had a palatal velar. This is the hard “kuh” sound at the start of words such as kid, king, kitchen, and kitten.

In English, the letter K is often silent (especially at the end of words). It is silent at the start of words when it is followed by the letter N. Some examples are:

Known

Kneed

Knightly

At the beginning of words, K is usually pronounced “Kuh” or “Kay.”
