The Augmentativsuffix is a suffix ( suffix ), which serves to increase or gain and is unknown in English. Nouns, adjectives and adverbs have their own augmentative suffixes. The lexical meaning is not changed by the enlargement ( augmentation ).

Examples

Italian

In Italian, the suffix -one / -ona is attached to stems of words of both sexes. The result is independent of the starting word male (-one) or female (-ona):

  • canna ("pipe") becomes cannone ("cannon")
  • donna ("woman") becomes donnone ("man woman")

Occasionally the form -acchione / -acchiona appears , usually with an ironic meaning:

  • furbo / furba ("smart") becomes furbacchione / -a (about " smart egg ")

Portuguese

Suffix -ão:

casarão (m, big house) from casa (f) and sapatão (m, big shoe) from sapato (m).

Romanian

The most common augmentative suffixes in Romanian are: -an, -andru, -oi, -oaie.

Examples: bogat (rich) → bogătan , pui (young) → puiandru , cuțit (knife) → cuțitoi , casă (house) → căsoaie .

Russian

  • Masculine and neuter: -ище [-ishche]
  • Feminine: -ища [-ishcha]

In Russian, for example, дом [dom] (house) is made up домище [domishche] (big house). This is not to be confused with the diminutive домик [domik] ( little house). Likewise бородища [borodishcha] from борода [boroda] (beard).

Spanish

Suffixes: -ote, -ota, -ón, -ona, -azo, -aza

botella (bottle) becomes botellón (big thick bottle).

Esperanto

In the international language Esperanto the syllable -eg- is used; then, as is customary, an ending vowel or an ending syllable is added, which designates the word class (-o for nouns in the singular, -oj nouns in the Pluraj, -a for adjectives, -e for adverbs, -i for verbs in the basic form etc.). The opposite "diminutive" ( diminutive ) with the syllable -et- formed in accordance with the Romance languages.

  • pordo door, pordego gate, pordeto door
  • varma warm, varmega hot, varmeta lukewarm
  • salti jump saltegi make giant leaps, salteti bounce

The syllables can also be used as independent word stems.

  • ege very (adverb), eta small, low
