-asyon
Tagalog
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ʔasˈjon/, [ʔɐˈʃon]
Suffix
-asyón
Usage notes
- Almost all Tagalog words with the ending are borrowed from Spanish, with some being pseudo-Hispanic adaptations of English borrowings ending with -ation to match existing Spanish loanwords with that suffix (e.g. populasyón, from population; polusyón from pollution). Compare the usage of Indonesian -asi (from Dutch -atie) to replace -ation in some English borrowings in a similar vein to harmonize with existing Dutch borrowings ending with that suffix.
- Rarely used to form authentic words (compared to the synonymous native equivalent pag-), except for surface analysis of existing words (e.g. modernisásyon), which can be analyzed as modernisá+-asyon, or as replacement of English -ation as explained above.
