diminutives

Question

When I look for such terms, like "ejo", the result reads "Aspects of Word Formation 2". Is there a more in-depth definition somewhere here or a link to "Word Formation"? It's fine otherwise, I just search online to find it.

I see many diminutives when I read, so I just want to see specific meaning and connotation for each one. I appreciate all your help. It is fine though, as the link I posted above sometimes provides such definitions for individual diminutives. I may have erred in using the forum. I had a question just about the technical issues of the dictionary. I probably should have tried to send a message to a moderator. I understand what diminutives are; if you wish, please delete this question.

Answer 1

Hello, packed.

Before we start: The word is diminutives, not dimunitives.

when i look for such terms, the result reads "aspects of word formation 2".

You mean when you search for diminutives in the translator? When I search there for, for example, momentito, the result is not "aspects of word formation 2" but "We couldn't find the word you were looking for." How/where are you searching?

I don't know of an article on spanishdict.com about diminutives, but there are many discussions in the Q&A. And of course Google will point you to many useful resources, like this.

Would you mind completing your profile, please?

Gracias amigo. :) - ian-hill, Dec 20, 2015

Answer 2

Welcome to the forum, though I see you joined almost a year ago.

Can you add the level of your English and Spanish to your profile? If you are just going to read articles and look at lessons, it does not matter, but if you ask or answer a question it is helpful.

Have you a particular problem to sort? There are lots of articles about this and also about prefixes and suffixes. It is a good way to expand your vocabulary. The opposite of 'diminutivos' is 'aumentativos'

Here are two links to sites that I use. There will be other articles on those sites and elsewhere:

Transparent Spanish Language Blog

In English

Cervantes practica

In Spanish but at top of page can change to other languages

Answer 3

Perhaps there can be a link? I appreciate all your help. It is fine though, as the link I posted above provides such definitions for diminutives.

If you click on 'this' in blue in jtaniel's post it links to an article - Mardle, Dec 20, 2015
