Appendix:World/Diminutives and Augmentatives in Laefevian: Difference between revisions

This is generally considered a derogatory suffix and it is used to refer to people only. It is similar to the pejorative suffix but the suffix '''''-(h)utta''''' conveys more of a moral judgement on the part of the speaker, carrying connotations of immorality, insincerity, disingenuousness, reproach, disgrace, shame, scorn, etc. In some cases, the meaning can be very close to the meaning of the words formed with the pejorative suffix. The suffix originates from the ending ''-(h)ut'' used in terms referring to the step-family members (e.g. ''vanhut'' “stepfather”, ''lehhut'' “stepmother”, ''šøskut'' “stepbrother”, etc.).

When added to personal names (both ''-(h)utta'' or ''-(h)uttakka'') is can also correspond to English structures like, “[NAME], you bastard/son of a bitch/etc.” or “[NAME], you bitch/cunt/etc.”, and so on.
