    The document discusses adjective suffixes in English and provides examples of how they can be added to words to express or describe feelings or states. Some common suffixes mentioned are "-ed" to indicate a feeling or state (e.g. embarrassed, thrilled), "-ing" to indicate nouns that cause feelings (e.g. boring, amusing), "-ful" to modify nouns with an attribute (e.g. careful, playful), and "-less" to modify nouns without something (e.g. sleepless, homeless, thoughtless). A variety of examples are given for words that have had these suffixes added.
