Suffix

しい (rōmaji -shii)

  1. Used to form adjectives from nouns, reduplications, or the 未然形 (mizenkei, “incomplete form”) of verbs. An adjective derived by this suffix implies a thorough and certain possession of the quality of the suffixed term.
    From nouns: 大人 (おとな) (otona, “adult”) + しい → おとなしい (otonashii, “quiet, gentle”)
    From verbs: 急 (いそ)ぐ (isogu, “to rush, to hurry”) + しい → 忙 (いそが)しい (isogashii, “busy”)
    From Japanese original reduplications: 2×水 (みず) (mizu, “water”) + しい → 瑞瑞 (みずみず)しい (mizumizushii, “fresh, juicy”)
    From reduplications of Chinese origins: 2×騒 (そう) (sō, “noise”) + しい → 騒 (そう)騒 (ぞう)しい (sōzōshii, “noisy”)
