Diminutives, endearments and company (a few) What are the names When he was small, the teacher gave great importance to the nouns (or common names). And do not neglect this important corollary
consists of the alterations (pet names, diminutive, augmentative and pejorative).
Apparently easy.
Take a noun (whether male or female) in the singular or plural.
female
Example: home / case. Example
the male: Men / boys. Want
the diminutive? Take the last letter [* cas *-], and add-ine,-ine,-ine,-ini
casino, casino / / kid / kids but also:-etta,-ette,-pound, pound-
lodge, cabins / / boy / boys
you like the nickname? Do as above, but add-Ucci, Uccea-,-Uccio-Ucci
little house / little houses / / ragazzuccio / ragazzucci ... I confess to having heard them maybe once or twice in a lifetime. Do you want
accretive? +-Ona,-one-one-oni
big house, big house / / boy, boys
you the worst? +-Acci, Acce-,-Accio, Acci-(but-
Astro-ònzolo, iciàttolo-,-ùcolo :)
Casaccia, Casaccia / / bad boy, bad boys
Sounds easy, but then there are the usual ingarbugliapensieri ...
if I wanted to make a word + includes diminutive pet name? You can do and can not be done: for example, little house
there, but not
ragazzinetto exist.

But take the case of
dog: canine
exists, but is a tooth
puppy dog \u200b\u200band are therefore the diminutive (which already looks like a pet name), while there is also little dog, makes me think that the dog in question is small, which is tender, but not necessarily to be nice.
The fact that the diminutive has expanded, occupying the space of endearment, while the actual term of endearment has taken a restrictive nature, I would say also characterized with contempt.
One thing is not really pretty pricey, it gives the rate of sufficiency. Of course, I speak the everyday language of today.
Cagnone and cagnolone for augmentative and mutt for the worst. As you can see the problem of dog is not in the suffix, but the root of the word acquires a * g (* can become ca
g n *).
And I would have to say more. But I'll stop here for now.
