The article focuses on conception of one of basic terms in word-formation theory – derivational meaning. The aim of this paper is to analyze how derivational meaning is manifested in the system of the adjective suffixes. Role of derivational meaning is a common into derivational model, so it must be sufficiently abstract and generalized, and Soida tried to arrange derivational meaning by quantitative, qualitative and figurative aspects as well as to divide the central and peripheral zones in derivational meaning.
