Compare with j. -i 1 suffix forming the plural: 1 of nouns adopted from Latin ending in -us : foci | timpani. 2 of nouns adopted from Italian ending in -e or -o : dilettanti. usage: The suffix -i is one of several suffixes in the English language that form foreign plurals ( -a and -ae are two others). Many nouns derived from a foreign language retain their foreign plural, at least when they first enter English, and particularly if they belong to a specialist field. Over time, though, it is quite normal for a word in general use to acquire a regular English plural. This may coexist with the foreign plural (e.g., cactus, plural cacti or cactuses), or it may actually oust a foreign plural. Note that not all Latin words ending in -us have a plural that ends in -i: for example, the Latin word apparatus is unchanged in the plural. -i 2 suffix forming adjectives from names of countries or regions in the Near or Middle East: Azerbaijani | Pakistani. ORIGIN from Semitic and Indo-Iranian adjectival endings. -i- suffix a connecting vowel chiefly forming words ending in -ana, -ferous, -fic, -form, -fy, -gerous, -vorous . Compare with -o-.
