occupations

Intermedio II
Noun Suffixes
 Suffixes are affixes that attach to the ends of the base forms of words to
create new words or new forms of words.
 Derivational suffixes create new Agent nouns are nouns that identify the
person performing an action or, in other words, are names for people.
 The following suffixes are suffixes that often mean “a person connected to
certain occupation or one who does a particular job”
-ist
-er
-ian
>>There are a lot of
expressions that can describe
jobs by simple adding a suffix
to verbs or other words<<
Note that the suffix -er can convert almost any verb into the person or thing
performing the action of the verb.
For example:
a teacher is a person who teaches,
a lover loves,
a killer kills,
an observer observes,
a walker walks,
a runner runs;
a sprinkler is a thing that sprinkles,
a copier copies …
Agent noun: An agent noun denotes a
person who performs an action.
-ist
affixing -ist to the base form of the noun art results in the new
noun artist, meaning someone who creates art,
-ian
affixing -ian to the base form of the noun library results in the new
noun librarian, meaning someone who works in a library.
So, the suffix -ian means someone who is a specialist or
practitioner.
-ist -er -ian
