Dutch
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From earlier -er, from Middle Dutch -er, the dative plural plural of which was -eren (compare German -ern). The use for all cases in Modern Dutch is probably due to a desire to over-illustrate the plural (that is -er + -en, comparing the dialectal byform -ers). The simple form of the suffix can still be seen in many compounds such as kindertijd, and in the formation of plural diminutives (kindertjes, radertjes). Compare English -ren.
Pronunciation
[edit]Suffix
[edit]-eren
- forms the plural of a limited group of nouns: blad, been, ei, gelid, gemoed, goed, hoen, kalf, kind, kleed, lam, lied, rad, rund, volk
Usage notes
[edit]- The two nouns ending in -n interfix an additional -d- before the ending: beenderen, hoenderen.
- The three nouns ending in a single vowel + -d- lengthen the vowel: bladeren, gelederen, raderen.
Etymology 2
[edit]From Middle Dutch -eren, from Middle French -er or Old French -er, from Latin -āre.
Pronunciation
[edit]Suffix
[edit]-eren
- part of the infinitive of verbs borrowed mainly from French and Latin, e.g. informeren from French informer (“to inform”).
