Derivations.

-ati- - diminutive, "small." So, mil becomes mil-ati-e small room. Notice how you have to add the -e since this is a noun. You can suffix this to verbs, in which case it means something like "a little bit:" tuaratio va asen I saw that a little bit.

-om- - augmentive, "large." So, aldovome large house, mansion. Again, you can use this with verbs, meaning something like "a lot, greatly, very much:" pionomai na enan carmen he read that book greatly.

er- - intentional. This is a prefix. It is attached to verbs and indicates that the action was performed with intent. Thus tuaro va means I see but ertuaro va means I look.

-tuv- - desiderative, "want/wish to X." This will be strange for most people. Rather than using a separate word to say "I want to go" Vaior uses a suffix in this case (when you say "I want him to go" there is another construction): lertuvo va.

You can pile affixes up, so long as they make sense: ertuaratituvai va enan I wanted to look (at) it a little bit:

  er    - tuar - ati -tuv -ai   va enan.
  INTENT- see - DIMIN-WANT-PAST I  it.
  

The suffixes will apply their meaning to the meaning of everything "to the left." So, ertuartuvatiai va enan means I wanted a little bit to look (at) it.
