Formation of new words

The addition of suffixes and prefixes enables us to form new words. 


Today we will learn the suffix "chen", adding which to the noun you get a diminutive form of this noun. Umlaut is usually added to the stress vowel, e.g.

der Vogel - das Vögelchen
das Haus - das Häuschen
die Hand - das Händchen

As you see, the suffix "chen" transforms the gender of each noun into neutrum.
