  2. Making adjectives say “extremely” ____ • Adding the suffixes ísimo, ísima, ísimos, ísimas to adjectives in Spanish adds the meaning “very” or “extremely” to that word. • The ending of the suffix matches the noun being described. • For adjectives that end in –ble, change to –bil before adding the new ending. • Adjectives with an accent mark lose the accent mark when the ending is added. • Adjectives that end in –co/-ca, -go/-ga, or –z require a spelling change: • c becomes qu • g becomes gu • z becomes c

  3. Expressing affection or small size • Adding the suffixes –ito/a/os/as, -cito/a/os/as, -illo/a/os/as, -uelo/a/os/as, & -ico/a/os/as to nouns shows affection or indicate small size.
