=====Usage notes=====
* This suffix is extremely productive and can be added to almost any word. When the resulting word is not perceived to be an established or formal word (but rather a {{l|en|nonce word}} or a {{l|en|casualism}}), a hyphen is often used before the suffix ({{m|en|sandcastle}} → {{m|en||sandcastle-y}}, [[tomato-y]], etc.); this is sometimes also used when an established term is used very literally, as a form of clarification ({{m|en|fuzz}} → {{m|en||fuzz-y|fuzz-like}}, distinct from {{m|en|fuzzy||covered in fuzz}}). A few long-established words ending with this suffix have distinctive spellings, such as {{m|en|wintry}} and {{m|en|fiery}}, which English learners might misspell as {{m|en|wintery|*wintery}} and {{m|en|firey|*firey}}.

=====Synonyms=====
* {{sense|form “having quality of” adjectives, denoting “involving the referent”}} {{l|en|-al}}, {{l|en|-an}}, {{l|en|-ial}}, {{l|en|-ian}}, {{l|en|-ly}}, {{l|en|-ous}}
* {{sense|form “having quality of” adjectives, denoting “analogous to the referent”}} {{l|en|-esque}}, {{l|en|-ish}}, {{l|en|-like}}, {{l|en|-ly}}, {{l|en|-oid}}
