German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle High German -haftec, from Old High German -haftīg. Equivalent to -haft + -ig.
In contemporary German the two variants -haft and -haftig have been mostly regularised in such a way that the adjective ends in simple -haft, but the nominal form ends in -haftigkeit, e.g. ernsthaft (“serious”) → Ernsthaftigkeit (“seriousness”).
Pronunciation
[edit]Suffix
[edit]-haftig
Usage notes
[edit]- The form remains general in a few relicts like leibhaftig, teilhaftig, wahrhaftig. Otherwise the standard language uses the simple form in -haft. Some variants, however, like ernsthaftig, glaubhaftig, namhaftig (for standard ernsthaft, glaubhaft, namhaft), may still at times be heard in speech.
