With a few exceptions, all adjectives end in the highly productive adjectivising suffix -ig. Adjectives derived from place names and names of ethnic groups end in -iess instead, and a closed class of native adjectives has no suffix at all. | With a few exceptions, all adjectives end in the highly productive adjectivising suffix -ig.
