Hey, does anybody have or know where I could find a list of Japanese suffixes that you add on the end of words such as, (something) + 室 (しつ) = the (something) room, (something) + 部 (ぶ) - the (something) club, (something) + 者 (しゃ/じゃ/もの) - some type of person/thing. I'm only now starting to realize you don't have to mine repeated words that have different suffixes becasue that's a bit of a waste in my opinion. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
#Suffix Lists?

I personally don't know of any lists like this. They probably exist though, although I feel like you should not study them like this.
Studying these things consciously is a complete waste of time in my opinion. All the most useful suffixes of that type will show up in abundance in immersion to the point where you probably don't even have to ever add them to an anki deck.
I would recommend you to watch some of matt vs japan's videos on the immersion if you have your doubts about the method. But I think you should try and limit active study like that as much as possible because it doesn't solidify it in your brain as much as it would if you see the suffix in context in your immersion content.
(it's also just not as fun)

Yeah I understand that, just thought it'd be nice to keep track of what I already know and common others for when they do come up, as well as actually be able to recognize the different pronunciations as well, but gotta trust the method ig xD thanks

Yeah I understand that, just thought it'd be nice to keep track of what I alread...
I'd be good to hear other people's opinions on the matter though, I wouldn't trust mine alone

I’m with snake on this, in fact I’d say that actively studying could be counter productive b/c as you noted, these “suffixes” sometimes have different readings depending on what they attach to, and if you study them in a vacuum you’re more likely to get the different readings confused. Better to just pick them up via immersion

Hmm okay okay thanks
