Question

what does the suffix ''tion'' typically indicate?

Answer 1

The suffix “-tion” typically indicates a process, action, or state resulting from a verb. It is used to form nouns and often signifies the result of an action or the condition of something. For example:

- "Educate" becomes "education" (the process of educating).
- "Create" becomes "creation" (the result of creating).
- "Celebrate" becomes "celebration" (the act of celebrating).

This suffix is commonly used in English to turn verbs into nouns that express the concept of the action or process associated with the verb.
