Ness and Less are suffixes in English.

There are many words in English with these suffixes.

Ness can change many words into nouns.

Example:

acid sustantivo, adjetivo,

ácido

acidic ácido

acidity acidez sustantivo

But acidness can also be used as a sustantivo.

kindness sustantivo = amabilidad, bondad

Less

It’s useless = (without use) arguing with them. Es inútil discutir con ellos.

Airless adjectivo = without air - sin aire

Endless adjectivo = without end - interminable

careless = (without care) - descuidado,
