In spanish can you me understand the prefixes and suffixes for spanish words

Do you want to increase your Spanish vocabulary? One sure-fire way is to take the words you already know and learn how to apply suffixes to them.

Suffixes are simply word endings that can be used to modify a word's meaning. We use them in English all the time, and nearly all of them that we use in English have a Spanish equivalent. But Spanish has an even wider variety, and their usage isn't always as obvious as it would be in English.

Take a common word like manteca, for example. That's the word for lard, a much-used cooking ingredient in Mexico and some other Spanish-speaking countries. Add the ending -illa, a common ending, and it becomes mantequilla, or butter. Add the ending -ero, and it becomes mantequero, which can mean either a dairyman or a butter dish. (The spelling is changed from c to qu to maintain the pronunciation.) Add the ending -ada, and it becomes mantecada, or buttered toast. Add -ado, and it becomes mantecado, or french ice cream.

Unfortunately, and the above words are an example, it isn't always possible to figure out what a word means simply by knowing the root word and the suffixes. But the suffixes may give enough clues that in context you can make a more educated guess. For example, the -ado and -ada endings are often the equivalent of the English "-ed." So it isn't hard to see how mantecada could come to mean something buttered, just as in English "a malted" can refer to a milkshake with malt in it.

Spanish suffixes can roughly be classified as diminutives, augmentatives, pejoratives, English cognates, and miscellaneous ones. And one, the adverbial suffix, is in a class of its own.

i would say "están" :

the ecuadorians are more hard working people and word from early sun raise until sunset. then you join with family for dinner and talk about their day. while in america it’s different. everyone live and have different rules and traditions habits.
