As earlier mentioned, there is no specific rule on how to combine words and suffixes; however, you can follow these two key principles: Euphony. Avoid repeating the same element within the same word. Take for example the word letto ( bed) – it can be modified into lettino or lettuccio, but lettetto would sound odd to the Italian ear. As for bambino ( child), you can add the suffixes –etto, –uccio and even –ello, but bambinino doesn’t sound euphonic;

This is also unpredictable, but it is often done for phonetic reasons ( miciaccio sounds terrible, for example). If a word already ends in a particular suffix, such as the noun stregone, you can’t really add the – one suffix to it, but have to use an adjective instead. To add an Italian suffix to a word, simply remove the last vowel from that word and add the suffix. It’s that simple. Clarity. Opt for forms that are transparent and leave no room for misunderstandings. For instance, if you want to create a diminutive of the word cavallo ( horse), you have to bear in mind that cavalletto is already the word for “tripod” and cavalluccio can also refer to “sea horses”, so cavallino would be the best solution to avoid ambiguities.Modifying suffixes can produce four different categories of alteration. Let’s have a look at each of them! Common in baby talk, diminutives are the richest category of altered words in Italian. If you are looking for the right suffix, you will be spoiled for choice!

However, a cane’s placement does not matter as much if you are using it for balance. “If one is using a cane for balance, it does not matter which side you hold the cane on,” Dr. Marko says. “Generally, people probably will use their dominant hand to hold it.” Moreover, there are some instances where new words created with the use of modifying suffixes were lexicalized, i.e. they became words in their own right.

Indipendentemente dalle dimensioni, tutti i cani discendono dai lupi, da qui il nome scientifico canis lupus familiaris. Questo perché, diverse migliaia di anni fa, l'uomo ha addomesticato il canis lupus dando vita alle razze che conosciamo oggi.

Handles can also aid in stability. “The handles can vary in that they can be a straight handle or a rounded, ‘candy cane handle,’” Dr. Marko says. “This preference varies by user, but some might feel more stable with one over the other.” Considering the handle when selecting a walking cane will help increase the usability of the device for yourself and your needs. V ezzeggiativi come into play when we want to evoke the grace, affection, tenderness or sympathy that characterized our relation to the object or person we are describing.
