Englisch (UK) · Wortbildung
Substantivendungen: -tion, -ment, -ness, -ity
Diese Endungen machen aus Verben und Adjektiven Substantive.
- -tion / -sion folgen auf Verben: inform → information, educate → education, decide → decision
- -ment folgt ebenfalls auf Verben: govern → government, improve → improvement, agree → agreement
- -ness folgt auf Adjektive: sad → sadness, kind → kindness, ill → illness
- -ity folgt ebenfalls auf Adjektive: possible → possibility, able → ability, popular → popularity
Achte auf die Schreibweise: ein abschließendes -e fällt vor -tion weg (pollute → pollution), bleibt aber meist vor -ment erhalten (excitement, aber argue → argument). -y wird zu -i (happy → happiness), und manche Wörter ändern sich stärker (explain → explanation, compete → competition). Ein paar Substantive enden auf -ence: different → difference.
