Usage notes
  • The suffix is more often stressed than not.
  • If added to a noun denoting a male person, the resulting noun remains masculine despite the ending.
  • If added to a reducible noun, the noun assumes its reduced form (e.g. парни́шка (parníška) from па́рень (párenʹ)).
  • If added to a noun ending in a suffix, the suffix is sometimes dropped (e.g. мальчи́шка (malʹčíška) from ма́льчик (málʹčik)}}).
