English Learn ^^



            Banyak kata-kata dalam bahasa Inggris yang dapat diurai ke dalam beberapa bagian. Ketika kamu mulai mengetahui arti dan fungsi dari beberapa bagian kata umum, maka kamu dapat dengan mudah,
·                     menebak arti dari beberapa kata baru;
·                     mengingat arti dari kata-kata baru lebih baik;
·                     meningkatkan jumlah kata yang Anda ketahui.

Kata-kata dalam bahasa Inggris dapat memiliki tiga bagian: akar kata (root), awalan (prefix), dan akhiran (suffix). Dan kali ini saya bakalan share sebagian sari Suffix dengan bantuan beberapa sumber ^^.
Cek It!
SUFFIX “ Akhiran “
Suatu akhiran (Suffixes) adalah  suatu bagian  kata yang ditambahkan di akhir suatu kata atau bagian yang disebut base (kata dasar) untuk membentuk suatu kata baru. Suatu akhiran berkaitan erat dengan tata bahasadan secara umum ditambahkan kepada hampir setiap kata dari suatu golongan, tergantung kepada kepada aturan-aturan yang dapat ditetapkan. (Sumber: http://id.shvoong.com/social-sciences/education/2235882-suffix/#ixzz2lFdy9EtH )
Perhatikan bahwa ketika sebuah akhiran ditambahkan ke akhir dari sebuah akar kata, ejaan dari akar kata sering berubah.
·                     Beberapa akhiran membentuk kata benda
          Contoh: understand (verb) + ing = understanding
                        comprehend (verb) + ion = comprehension
                        happy (adjective) + ness = happiness

          Contoh: understand (verb) + able = understandable
                        success (noun) + ful = successful
·                     Beberapa akhiran membentuk kata keterangan.
