>tfw no word as cute as schätzeli in english
Don't we?
Technically we do, it's 'ling' (e.g. 'duckling' and 'fledgling') but it's not really used to make new words anymore.
Shittylet languagelet tbqh famlet
YES, IT DOES; IT HAS THREE FORMS: "IE", "LING", AND "ETTE".
Fuckin OPette doesn't understand. What's moronling.
>Mexicanettos intellectualettos
They are barely productive and are unnatural in new words
There's also "let"
as in
niglet
piglet
etc.

>tfw I use that diminutive all the time
I don't even speak dutch.

It's worst when talking to foreign girls and you cant make their name sound cute.
Its just Sarah or Clare no matter what. Why is english such cold and autistic language
Please, don't change names to make them sound cute. What do you want? Clarita? Sarainho? Clarje?
How do you pronounce -je at the end?
I cant in english....
Fucking robot language
You borrowed some from Dutch.
-ey -ie
Let's eat a cookie. Very girly.
>How do you pronounce -je at the end?
Ehhhhhhhhhh
Dutch pronunciation is often closer to French than English.
So it's closer to the French je.
An English Y with a French E.
>Please, don't change names to make them sound cute.
It sounds more intimate

Apreciatives are more useful than diminutives.
Being able to say Perr-ucho or Negr-ata to imply contempt from what you are talking about is Goat.
In Hiberno-English "een" is the diminutive. .
Alright thankje
>not Ninulienôčička
NO; IT SOUNDS CLOYING, INSINCERE, AND PATRONIZING.
Finnish has
-nen
-kka
-kka+nen
-ke
>How do you pronounce -je at the end?
Somewhere between "je" without the z sound and "fille" without the fi.
[jə] in IPA, with the j often combined with the previous letter, like [ˈhœʏʃə] for huisje (small house).
A bit like ya?
Only Slavic languages can properly express a full intensity of emotions
kanker mongol
Unless you pronounce "ya" like a retard, not really.
It's basically the same as the end of l'Allemagne.

Examples of all:
My name is George, so the diminutive would be Georgie
Pigs are big, their babies aren't, Pig -> Piglet
Duck -> Duckling
Pipe-> Pipette
I'm pretty sure we got it from you
> Sarah or Clare
> cant make
First is literally used by russian and ukranian jews. Second is quite close to Klara.
So, just Sarochka/Klarochka. Not hard.
you might as well speak french, if you love it so much

But they are unproductive (you can't slap them to any word, Americanette)
