Noun-forming affixes
From Verbs
| Purpose | English | German | Latin | French | Esperanto | Old Tri. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agent (Who does the verb?) |
-er, -tor | -er/in | -tor/-trix (salvator, imperatrix) |
-eur/-euse, -ier/e | -anto (esperanto, "one who hopes") |
-eur (administeur) |

-ee (trainee) |
-ato | ||||
| State/condition of doing it or having it done |
-ment and others (amusement, astonishment) |

| Professional, vocational, philosophy[1] |
-ist (typist, fascist, cyclist) |

| The action itself or result of doing it |
-tion (retaliation, indignation) |
-tum, -ung, -schaft, -sal | -(t)io (deliberatio) |
-tion et al | Sometimes -er (pluvero) |
Inconsistent; sometimes -at or -stanz (proponat, sagenstanz) |
| Variously related to the act |
-(t)ium, -tura (cultura, odium, ingenium, oblivium) |
|||||
| Instrument for doing or thing which does the act |
-er, -tor (stapler, cutter, vibrator) |
-er, -el, -zeug | -men(tum), -(c)ulum, etc. (flumen, nomen, vinculum, impedimentum) |
-oir (miroir, accoudoir) |
-ilo | |
| Place of doing the act |
-oir (abbatoir, dortoir) |
-ejo (lernejo) |
- ↑ This one is complicated. In both German and English it can refer not just to a profession/vocation but also the adherent of a philosophy: fascist, Kapitalist. In Esperanto this usage is technically incorrect (budhano rather than **budhisto) but is widespread for some words anyhow (most notably esperantisto).
