Suffixsed estonian and lithuanian language word-formation (estonian\u98\u98 – lithuanian dictionary based)

Suffixed word building in Lithuanian and Estonian language is one of the main ways of word formation. The aim of this project is to establish which Estonian suffixes derivatives meet the Lithuanian language suffix. The study material consists of 314 Estonian suffixed noun derivatives, 87 suffixed adjective derivatives and 46 suffixed verb derivatives and their translations into Lithuanian language. The analysis of ‘Estonian – Lithuanian dictionary’ (2015, Tiina Kattel, Giedrė Priks, Reda Šmitaitė) showed that 14 Lithuanian language suffixes correspond to 9 Estonian suffixed noun derivatives, 9 Lithuanian language suffixes correspond to 5 Estonian suffixed adjective derivatives and 6 of the Lithuanian language suffixes correspond to 10 Estonian suffixed verb derivatives. Most matches of suffixes in noun derivatives of Lithuanian language would be suffix -imas/-ymas (equivalent to 4 Estonian suffixes), but it is Estonian suffix -us (equivalent to 6 Lithuanian suffixes) that has the most matches of Lithuanian suffixes. Most matches of Estonian suffixes in adjective derivatives would be Lithuanian suffixes such as -ingas, -a (equivalent to 5 suffixes of Estonian language), but the absolute most matches of Lithuanian suffixes to have is an Estonian suffix -ne (equivalent to 8 Lithuanian suffixes). Lithuanian language suffix -inti (equivalent to 6 Estonian suffixes) has the most matches to suffixes of Estonian verbal derivatives, but the most Lithuanian matches of suffixes to have would be Estonian suffix -sta- (equivalent to 5 Lithuanian suffixes)
