后缀, 词尾
(grammar) a letter or a set of letters that are added to the end of a word to alter its meaning and make a new word
A suffix is a type of affix that is added to the end of a base word or root to modify its meaning or grammatical function. Suffixes can change the part of speech, tense, or number of a word. For example, adding the suffix "-ing" to the verb "run" forms "running,", indicating an ongoing action. Similarly, adding the suffix "-ful" to the noun "beauty" creates the adjective "beautiful", which describes something that has beauty. Suffixes play an important role in word formation and help expand vocabulary in many languages.
- Adding the suffix '-ly' to 'quick' changes the word to 'quickly,' turning it into an adverb.
在'quick'后添加后缀'-ly'会将单词变为'quickly'，使其成为副词。
