| Notes: | Diminutive words can be literal or metaphorical, are often terms of endearment or affection, familiarity or intimacy, but sometimes also suggest condescension or dismissal. The contrasting word form is augmentative, whose general meaning is 'large,' often implying awkwardness or ugliness, as in eat up, hurry up. Augmentatives are common in Latinate languages. In English, augmentative words are generally formed by the addition of augmentative affixes. |
