suffix = something added to the end of a word, which often changes the part of speech
part of speech = the different “kinds” of words, such as verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs
---
most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective:
	frequently, quickly, usually, noisily, silently, rarely, generally, commonly, nationally
some adverbs are “formed” by not changing an adjective:
	fast, hard, early, late, daily, hourly, monthly, weekly, yearly (these are noun+ly adjectives)
---
nouns to other nouns: ship (relationship), hood (neighborhood), ism (racism), ist (racist), an (Brazilian)
nouns to verbs: ify (classify), ate (assassinate), [no change] (phone, grade, book)
nouns to adjectives: less (careless), ful (careful), y (snowy), ly (friendly), ous (mysterious), al (national), an (Brazilian)
verbs to nouns: er/or (teacher, actor), ion (discussion), ment (employment), ee (employee), ing (banking)
verbs to other verbs: ???
