There are two primary types of suffixes in English: 1  A derivational suffix (such as the addition of-ly to an adjective to form an adverb) indicates what type of word it is. 2  An inflectional suffix (such as the addition of-s to a noun to form a plural) tells something about the word's grammatical behavior.
A letter or a group of letters 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, and adding the suffix -ly to the adjective quick turns it into the adverb quickly. Other examples of words with suffixes are: âwilling,â âmanagement,â âserviceable,â âharmonize,â and âjoyful.â (Compare prefix.)
