Word building



The suffix -al combines with nouns to form adjectives. Adjectives formed in this way describe something that is connected with the thing referred to by the original noun. Sometimes, -ial is used instead of -al, especially for nouns ending in -er-or and -ent. The suffix -al can also combine with verbs to form nouns.

Examples


clinic ➝ clinical
coast ➝ coastal
norm ➝ normal
influence ➝ influential
memory ➝ memorial
finance ➝ financial

 

The suffix –cy combines with adjectives, and occasionally nouns, to form new nouns. Nouns formed in this way refer to the state, quality, or experience described by the adjective. A final t or te is replaced by -cy.

Examples


frequent ➝ frequency
current ➝ currency

 

The suffix -y combines with verbs, and sometimes with adjectives or nouns to form new nouns. Nouns formed in this way refer to the circumstances, state, or conditions.

Examples

unite ➝ unity
discover ➝ discovery
