I have recently heard in a Tv show that some guy said: He is stable-ish for now! What does this term mean exactly? couldn't find anything, what's the occasion to use? can we use the -ish suffix for any adjective?.
A:
-ish 1) A suffix that makes any word or phrase more vague. 2) It can be used with any word and it's applied at the end to make the word into meaning 'kind of'. For eg. me = 'how are you feeling today?' you = 'i am feeling okay-ish' More 3) A suffix used to guesstimate a number or time. When referring to time '-ish' means within plus or minus 15 minutes. When referring to a number '-ish' means within 5. For eg. Guy1: What time is the party? Guy2: 7:30-ish Other definition: 4) suffix. used to describe an approximation, or likeness of the subject. (can be used alone as an adjective) So, here the meaning of the stable-ish to he is okay-okay or not good not bad.. Update reference by the request of @trevorD The term = ish
