Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns or adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs. Particularly in the study of Semitic languages, a suffix is called an afformative, as they can alter the form of the words. In Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes and endings (see Proto-Indo-European root). A word-final segment that is somewhere between a free morpheme and a bound morpheme is known as a suffixoid or a semi-suffix (e.g., English -like or German -freundlich 'friendly').Suffixes can carry grammatical information (inflectional suffixes) or lexical information (derivational suffixes). An inflectional suffix is sometimes called a desinence.Some examples in European languages:Girls, where the suffix -s marks the plural.He makes, where suffix -s marks the third person singular present tense.It closed, where the suffix -ed marks the past tense.De beaux jours, where the suffix -x marks the plural.Elle est passablement jolie, where the suffix -e marks the feminine form of the adjective.Many synthetic languages—Czech, German, Finnish, Latin, Hungarian, Russian, Turkish, etc.—use a large number of endings.Suffixes used in English frequently have Greek, French, or Latin origins.Inflection changes the grammatical properties of a word within its syntactic category.In the example:I was hoping the cloth wouldn't fade, but it has faded quite a bit.the suffix -ed inflects the root-word fade to indicate past tense.Inflectional suffixes do not change the word class of the word after inflection.Inflectional suffixes in modern English include: -s third person singular present -ed past tense -t past tense -ing progressive/continuous -en past participle -s plural -en plural (irregular) -er comparative -est superlative -n't negativeDerivational suffixes can be divided into two categories, namely class-changing derivation and class-maintaining derivation.Derivational suffixes in modern English include: -ise/-ize (usually changes nouns into verbs) -fy (usually changes nouns into verbs) -ly (usually changes adjectives into adverbs) -ful (usually changes nouns into adjectives) -able/-ible (usually changes verbs into adjectives) -hood (usually class-maintaining, with the word class remaining a noun) -ess (usually class-maintaining, with the word class remaining a noun) -ness (usually changes adjectives into nouns) -less (usually changes nouns into adjectives) -ism (usually class-maintaining, with the word class remaining a noun) -ment (usually changes verbs into nouns) -ist (usually class-maintaining, with the word class remaining a noun) -al (usually changes nouns into adjectives) -ish (usually changes nouns into adjectives/ class-maintaining, with the word class remaining an adjective) -tion (usually changes verbs into noun) -logy/-ology (usually class-maintaining, with the word class remaining a noun)↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑"@en }
