Summary/Abstract: The paper attempts to reveal and describe some peculiarities of the formation of complex words in the Tatar language, which are used to describe human characteristics. Words belonging to the thematic group are divided into proper complex, paired, and compound words. Most lexemes are dialectal, informal, or colloquial, being characterized as adjectives. The source lexical units involved in the formation of complex words are mostly of the Kipchak-Turkic origin in the Tatar language. Very few of them are actual borrowings from non-cognate languages. Proper complex and compound words are more often formed by connecting the adjective to the noun as a second component. Paired words are mainly formed by using two adjectives. New compound words are formed with the help of such affixes as -ly/-le (-лы/-ле) and -chan/-chän (-чан/-чән).
