1. 核心功能总结
后缀 核心功能 词性 典型示例
-n 表国籍/人/语言 adj. / n. Canada → Canadian
-ian 表国籍/人/语言 adj. / n. Italy → Italian
-ese 表国籍/人/语言 adj. / n. China → Chinese
-ish 表国籍/人/语言 adj. / n. Sweden → Swedish
注意:这四个后缀在课本语境下仅用于构词“国家→国籍/语言”。虽然 -ish 在其他语境可表“大约、略带…性质”(如 childish),-ian 可表“专家”(如 musician),但在本小节 Word power 中不作此义项要求。

Germany → German (特例:去y加n)
-ian
规则:多用于以 -y, -a, -e 等结尾的国家名,常伴随拼写调整。
高频词:
Italy → Italian (去y加ian)
Russia → Russian (去a加ian,拼写变化大)
Brazil → Brazilian
Egypt → Egyptian
-ese
规则:主要用于东亚、东南亚及部分欧洲国家名后,单复数同形。
高频词:
China → Chinese
Japan → Japanese
Vietnam → Vietnamese
Portugal → Portuguese
-ish
规则:主要用于北欧、英国周边国家名后,部分词根拼写变化较大。

3. 三大核心语法要点

形容词:修饰名词(Chinese culture, Swedish design)
名词(指人):可数,有单复数(two Americans, many Italians)

②单复数特殊规则:
-ese 结尾的词:单复数同形(one Chinese / two Chinese √two Chineses ×)
-n, -ian, -ish 结尾的词:正常加 -s(Canadians, Italians, Swedes)
③大小写规范:所有派生词首字母必须大写,无论作形容词还是名词(chinese ×→ Chinese √)。
