On this page you can get a detailed analysis of a word or phrase, produced by the best artificial intelligence technology to date:
An augmentative (abbreviated AUG) is a morphological form of a word which expresses greater intensity, often in size but also in other attributes. It is the opposite of a diminutive.
Overaugmenting something often makes it grotesque and so in some languages, augmentatives are used primarily for comical effect or as pejoratives.
Many languages have augmentatives for nouns, and some have augmentatives for verbs.
