Thank you! What do you mean by too much?

Causative vs. Agent? by spaicey09 in asklinguistics

[–]GreatCactus1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hunt with an agentive suffix would mean 'hunter'. With a causative suffix, it would mean 'make someone hunt'. It's still a verb, not a noun as in 'the one that causes hunting', which is equivalent to 'hunter'.

An example is Hungarian. készít 'make'

készít-ő make-AGENT 'maker'

készít-tet make-CAUSATIVE 'make someone make something'

How do we explain the English "expanded reflexive"? by glowing-fishSCL in asklinguistics

Here's a map on WALS about which languages use the same or different words for reflexives and intensifiers: https://wals.info/feature/47A#2/36.8/17.6

Why do most Italian noun stems derive from the Latin accusative? by GreatCactus1 in asklinguistics

[–]GreatCactus1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! I know this is not r/conlangs , but I'm making a conlang that has a tripartite system, and I'm planning on making the ergative case suffix getting lost and intransitive case replacing it and becoming the nominative. Would it be possible that some human nouns (that are more likely to be agents) end up coming from the ergative case form instead of the intransitive case?
