Isi artikel

The aim of this research is to discuss about the semantic analysis of suffixes in Karo language and also to show the changes of meaning of words which are already influenced by the suffixes. The method of doing reseach is by taking some references or text-books, and this type of research is called qualitative research. It is found that the suffixes in Karo language are of four types, such as: -ken, -en, -i, and -sa. By adding the suffixes to the bases, the meanings of the words may change or may not change. For example: lau ‘water’ becomes laui ‘to water’, uis ‘dress’ becomes uisi ‘to have dress’, etc. The conclusion is that the formation of words can be done by attaching a suffix to a certain base (a noun, an adjective, a verb and an adverb or a numeral). On the other hand, the addition of a suffix to the base may only result in another form of a certain class of word or the change of a word meaning.
