@lionelb@expressional.social @Tarnport@mastodon.green so does Spanish: libro, librito, librote, librazo. The latter is also 'big', not necesarily ugly; could be Italian influence in my Argentinian Spanish.

@mdione@en.osm.town @lionelb@expressional.social @Tarnport@mastodon.green I thought all romance languages worked in a similar way. In Catalan: -Home (man) -Home-n-et (little man) also Home-n-iqueu (very small man) -Home-n-ot (big/uncute man) -Home-n-às (great man) This -n- is to separate the vowels, because: -Llibre (book) -Llibr-et (small book) als libr-et-et (tiny book) -Llibr-ot (big/uncute book) -Llibr-às (great book)
