Suffixje

Suffixje is a term used in the Dutch language to refer to a suffix, which is an affix added to the end of a word. Suffixes can change the meaning, grammatical function, or part of speech of a word. In Dutch, suffixes are often used to create new words or to indicate grammatical categories such as tense, number, or case. For example, the suffix -heid is used to form nouns that denote an abstract quality or state, as in "vriendelijkheid" (friendliness) from "vriendelijk" (friendly). Similarly, the suffix -baar is used to form adjectives that indicate the ability to perform an action, as in "leesbaar" (readable) from "lezen" (to read). Suffixes play a crucial role in the morphological structure of the Dutch language, contributing to its rich vocabulary and grammatical flexibility.
