In linguistics, a suffix is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns and adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs.
A suffix is a part of a word that attaches to the end of a word's main part, called the stem. Suffixes are important because they change how words function grammatically—for example, they can show what role a noun plays in a sentence or how a verb changes when describing different times or subjects.

Suffixes can carry grammatical information (inflectional endings) or lexical information (derivational/lexical suffixes). Inflection changes the grammatical properties of a word within its syntactic category. Derivational suffixes fall into two categories: class-changing derivation and class-maintaining derivation.
