American List of Suffixes -American English -- Page 1

This is a list of popular American suffixes. I give this list to my students and we go over some selected ones to show them how it works. I start with "tele" which means "at a distance". We then move to "scope" which means "an instrument for seeing" and thus we get from telescope "an instrument for seeing at a distance". Light bulbs begin to go off in the class as they begin to get the connections. We then look at a long word such as "teleconference". "Tele" meaning "at a distance," "confer" meaning to discuss or talk, and "ence" meaning, "act of doing". Thus we have a "doing a discussion at a distance".
