Friends. Many new words can be formed from the word 'friend' by adding different suffixes.
Vocabulary 19 - Suffixes 1
We have learnt in our English classes about root words or base words. We have also learnt about different parts of speech. We have learnt to convert some of the words from one part of speech into another and use them effectively to communicate better. Also,we have heard of prefixes and suffixes.
You may already have done the two quizzes on prefixes. If so you will know that prefixes are groups of letters that are added before a base word to make a new word. In the same vein suffixes are groups of words that are added after a base word to form new words.
Generally, the meaning of the new word is linked to the root word, although in some cases it may not be. The suffixes that we add each have a meaning and, if we know what it is, we can guess the meaning of the new word.
