WHAT DOES SUFFIX MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Suffix

In linguistics, a suffix is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. 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 to which they are fixed. In Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes and endings. A word-final segment that is somewhere between a free morpheme and a bound morpheme is known as a suffixoid or a semi-suffix. Suffixes can carry grammatical information or lexical information. 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.

Definition of suffix in the English dictionary

The first definition of suffix in the dictionary is anything that is added at the end of something else. Other definition of suffix is to add as a suffix to the end of a word. Suffix is also to add at the end of a sentence, comment, or piece of writing.
