REMARKS ON THE SUFFIXES AND PREFIXES.
270. Suffix -AC-. Prefixes FI- and FUS-.
The suffix -ac- denotes _badness of quality or condition_, and is used with any part of speech to show _disparagement_, _contempt_.
Fusi, _to botch_, _bungle_, _do blunderingly_, is sometimes used as a prefix with a similar meaning, though it is less frequently used than -ac.
Aca = _nasty_; domaco = _a hovel_; veteraco = _vile weather_; capelaco = _a shabby hat_; fuskonstrui, or, konstruaci = _to jerry-build_.
The exclamation Fi = _fie! for shame!_ is used as a prefix to denote _shamefulness_, _disgustingness_, _nastiness_. Fi- denotes moral rather than physical badness, and is stronger than -ac-, which has a more general sense.
Fidomo = _a house of ill repute_; fivorto = _a naughty word_; firakonto = _a low story_.
270 (1). Suffix -AD-. (Ex. 19.)
(_a_). This suffix marks that an action is being continued or is habitual. It marks an action of some duration, not momentary. Thus, pafo = _a shot from a gun_ (the gun is fired, and the action is over); but pafado = _a fusillade_ (a continuance of shots of more or less duration).
Thus _dancado_ = dancing, _desegnado_ = designing, drawing, _kantado_ = singing, _legado_ = reading, _pentrado_ = painting, _skulptado_ = (the art of) sculpture, _skribado_ = writing. These words signify not momentary acts, but habitual actions; in fact, they are used to denote arts or practices, as the art of painting, singing, etc.
_Kanto_ = A song. _Sia kanto placas al mi_ = Her song pleases me.
_Sia kantado carmas min_ = Her singing charms me.
(_b_). If we wish to speak of the faculties of hearing, smelling, touching, thought, feeling, will, we say audado, flarado, palpado, pensado, sentado, volado; but if we speak of isolated acts of such faculties, we say audo, flaro, palpo, penso, sento, volo.
(_c_). Sometimes the word arto is used when we wish to specify that some -ado is an art.
Examples.--_Danc-arto_ (_dancado_) = the art of dancing, _kant-arto_ (_kantado_) = the art of singing, _pentr-arto_ (_pentrado_) = the art of painting.
N.B.--The hyphens are not necessary.
