The study of adjective making suffixes in Ferdowsi’s epic masterpiece, Shahnameh

Prefixes and suffixes are significant morphemes or words which aid linguists to make new words and parts of speech such as nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs.  By making thousands of scientific and technical terms, on one hand morphemes enrich Persian language, and on the other hand to a large extent create a barrier to keep intact the Persian language from the invasion of foreign expressions.  The study of adjective making suffixes in Shahnameh which is a fine repository of dictions and is an embodiment of eloquence in the Persian language is of utmost importance in order to make correct adjectives and to determine the ancient ways of making adjectives.  The research shows that Ferdowsi had masterly used about 26 suffixes to make adjectives and had drawn variety of meanings from them.
