 ====== Derivational suffixes ====== ====== Derivational suffixes ======
-Suffix is called **//derivational//** if it changes word's class (e.g. noun from verb) or alter it's meaning preserving the class (like English adjectives //red//--//reddish//). [[Nûrlâm]] doesn't have many of such suffixes because word derivation is usually done by [[clitics]] (e.g. short adjectives, [[adpositions|postpositions]]), [[phonology|phonetical]] alteration (changing vowel length, shifting consonants, h<->kh<->k<->g<->gh) or making compound words. Another reason is frequent //[[zero-derivation]]// (also called //conversion//), when no suffix is used to convert word's class (e.g. //blûz// has meaning of noun "grain" and verb "to grind"). Some English words have no direct correspondence in Nûrlâm, and another part of speech or expression is applied for translation (for example adjective "fearful" should be translated as "full of fear" = "gûk ufurmob" or as participle "frightening" = "uglug" and adverb "fearfully" as "with fear" = "ufurmsha"). +Suffix is called **//derivational//** if it changes word's class (e.g. noun from verb) or alter it's meaning preserving the class (like English adjectives //red//--//reddish//).
