Pronunciation af /ˈɪə̯r/ Suffix af suffix Part of the root derived mainly from French and Latin, e.g. nl informeer from fr informer to inform, originally the infinitive ending of such French verbs. Usage notes In verbs with this suffix, the participle prefix af ge- may be optionally omitted. This is commonly done in disyllabic verbs, less so in longer ones (because these have a secondary stress on the first syllable). Even with disyllabic verbs, the prefix is seldom omitted in attributive past participles, however.
