Those who know the answer to the question of which form is correct - “cardinally” or “coordinatively” may not understand how one can make mistakes in this paragraph. But one cannot indiscriminately blame people for not knowing any rules. Delusions usually have their own reasons, and they cannot be suspected of unreasonableness.
Coordinates
Before considering the correct version of the spelling of a word, let's find out why an error occurs. When people think about how they spell “cardinally” or “coordinately,” they think: the word comes from the noun “coordinate”. In addition, this is consistent with the general sense. Changing something dramatically, dramatically means to get out of the old coordinate system and get into a new one, right? Yes, the logic of reasoning is impeccable, but there is only one small miscalculation in it: the word "cardinal" comes from another concept.
Cardinal

It is to this spiritual order that we owe the fact that in Russian we have a wonderful adjective and no less amazing adverb. The word is borrowed from the French language, where it came, of course, from Latin. In the dead language, cardinalis meant "main, basic, pivotal." Therefore, knowing the meaning of the Latin definition, it is not difficult for us to establish the meaning of the dialect. Changing something fundamentally means making fundamental changes. Those that turn everything upside down. For example, the artist does not like the picture, and he decides not to redo this, but to draw another. The writer does not like the article or the book; he does not correct it, but throws it into the bin and starts everything from scratch. Of course, such measures must be recognized as cardinal or radical. The cardinal is something related to the foundation, the foundation, and the radical is something related to the extreme. In the above examples, the writer and artist act both radically and radically at the same time, because, firstly, they revise their works at their foundation, and secondly, they perform a sharp, unexpected action.
But back to the main topic. The question is, what is the correct option - “cardinally” or “coordinately” in its foundation contains the wrong image. When a person understands that it is not necessary to think about René Descartes and his coordinate system, but about the cardinal, if you want Richelieu, much will become clear. An image is an indispensable assistant in teaching or learning something, but it is important that it is correctly selected.
Value
After analyzing the errors and the history of the origin, the duty tells you to turn to the dictionary to clarify the meaning of the word in question. So, our dictionary assistant says that the cardinal is “essential, basic, most important”. We took an adjective, not an adverb, because their meanings are similar. But still, it’s probably worth clarifying: fundamentally - this is fundamentally. For example: "A man radically revised his views and from an atheist turned into a Christian." That is, the subject rethought their values in a substantial way and replaced their core.
Synonyms
In fact, there is no dilemma regarding the “cardinal” or the “coordinating”, because there is no second concept in nature. There is only one form of writing the object of today's study, so we penetrate into the depth of its meaning, choosing synonyms for it:
- radical;
- absolute;
- final;
- resolute.
Of course, each adjective has its own special meaning, so you need to carefully choose depending on what exactly the person wants to say.
Reading and writing as parallel practices that help you remember the spelling of complex words
It is clear that the advice, on the one hand, is very banal and obvious, and on the other hand is boring, but there is no other recipe to remember the spelling of words - you need to read books. Moreover, education in this case becomes not a painful process, as it is customary to imagine, but fun. Absorbing pages, we voluntarily or involuntarily remember spelling. For self-education, it is better to use classical works.
But sometimes reading is not enough to properly absorb the material. Grammar, even Russian, even foreign is comprehended primarily in practice. Therefore, the question of whether it is “cardinally” or “coordinatively” will completely disappear when the reader grabs a pen in his hand or puts his hands on the keyboard and prints a few sentences with the object of study, you can even come up with a whole story. True, this technique is usually used by teachers who teach children a foreign language, so new words are better remembered. It has long been proven that cramming is an ineffective way, it is the understanding of the material that is important. We won’t write a story, but we’ll come up with suggestions:
- "The ball has radically revised its menu - and became a vegetarian."
- “Fundamental measures can only be taken in the most extreme case.”
- "Martin Eden had to radically revise his views on Ruth."
The reader can, using our examples, compose his sentences or even a whole story that will finally dispel his doubts about the two dialects "cardinally" or "coordinatively."
