> I didn’t know English had a diminutive suffix (-kin). Is it used still in common English? No, at least not in the US. In American English, you'd use a modifier instead of a suffix. We have some pre-diminutized words like "oopsie", but no general-purpose suffix that you can attach to anything. There are some _prefixes_ that you can use though. You could prepend just about anything with "micro", and people will know you mean "a small version of X". > Also, is there an augmentative suffix as well that I don’t know about? Also no (at least not that I can think of). Modifiers are also more common. You can also use prefixes like "Mega" as an augmentative. Depending on the word, this can be used for comic effect.
