Hello everyone
I was reading up about prefixes/suffixes in English and I started to think about Spanish ones. After browsing the net for a while, I found quite a few sites (some good, some bad) but one really stuck out that I thought I'd share. Here's a link to a list that someone made into a pdf and uploaded (it's not mine): Here The 1st list on the file is alright but a bit obvious (as they're very similar to their English-Greek/Latin equivalents) whereas the 2nd list is where it really shines. Obviously this is no way to learn a language properly as there's no context/clue as to how they function but it is quite an interesting way to build your vocab and get a better look at the language. I checked out the site where it was from (it's on the bottom of the file). It was ok but I thought this was the only really useful thing. About.com also had some useful lists as well so try that if you fancy. I found some much smaller French ones on About.com however Wikitionary (the English or Spanish version, can't remember) had a big list (but had not great examples). Does anyone have any more lists of Suffixes/Prefixes (or other -ixes) for Spanish or other languages? Edited by crafedog on 08 February 2012 at 2:28pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Nope, but I'd find most interesting to use this is as a base to make a shared multilingual one in a GoogleDoc spreadsheet, for example. A lot of this stuff must be common to many languages, in particular European ones. For example, I'd never had thought about Spanish '-voro' as a suffix, but it obviously comes from Latin (or Greek? I'm unclear right now) 'vorax' -> 'voracious' -> English '-vorous' which elegantly closes the circle through etymology.
Any volunteers? Edited by mrwarper on 09 February 2012 at 2:07am 1 person has voted this message useful |
