Suffixes  

Definition

Concept used in grammar to name the affix added to the end of a Word to change its meaning.

For example:

• adding the suffix -ter to the adjective hot turns it into the comparative adjective hotter                       

                                   hot -ter > hotter

• adding the suffix -ly to the adjective quick turns it into the adverb quickly.

                                   quicky-ly > quickly


EXAMPLES:   

word	suffix	New Word
child	-ish	childish
work	-er	worker
taste	-less	tasteless
idol	- ize/-ise	idolize/idolise
like	able	likeable

The addition of a suffix often changes a word from one word class to another. In the table above, the verb like becomes the adjective likeable, the noun idol becomes the verb idolize, and the noun child becomes the adjective childish.
