Diminutives, Augmentatives, & Superlatvies

Diminutives are very popular, in order to make things seems smaller, or even cuter.

Augmentatives are the complete opposite and are there to make things larger and bigger

if the word ends in a vowel, simply drop the vowel, and add an ending

Superlatives

This is to intensify the meaning of the word - this is to say REALLY.

For example, él es divertido, pero yo soy divertidísimo
