List of Newspeak Words - Suffixes

Suffixes

  • "-ful" is a Newspeak suffix used to turn another word into an adjective. For example, rapid would be rendered as speedful.
  • "-ed" is the only method to make a non-auxiliary verb past tense in the A-vocabulary. This decreases the number of words required to express tenses by removing irregular conjugations. Ran becomes runned, drank becomes drinked, etc.
  • "-wise" is a Newspeak suffix used to turn another word into an adverb. For example, quickly would be rendered as speedwise. Therefore "He ran very quickly" would become "He runned plus-speedwise".
