I love to teach suffixes that are also stand-alone words. The suffix -ship is a great example because most of my students know this word already. I put this post together for ESL students and teachers. Use this vocabulary puzzle piece to increase your vocabulary.

The suffix -ship is used in nouns to show…
① the position or quality of
“Our friendship goes back many years.”
② status or place
“Jamal just got his Canadian citizenship.”
③ capability 
“He is still doing an apprenticeship.”
④ category or class
“My gym membership expires in May.”

I looked at hundreds of words that end with the suffix -ship and chose the most common words for this post.

Ship – Meaning

A ship is a large boat that carries people or goods by sea.

*I didn’t include words like battleship or airship in the prefix example list. Those are both types of vehicles (large) that don’t fit the pattern of this post.

Ship can also be a verb that means to send or transport somebody/something
People or things can be sent in any kind of vehicle, not only ships.

  • It costs more to ship things by air (in a plane) than by sea (in a ship) but it’s faster.

Английский языкКурс грамматики

Английский язык интересен тем, что новые слова могут образовываться довольно легко при использовании суффиксов, которые порой трансформируют слова до их неузнаваемости. Мы пытаемся понять суть этих преобразований, чтобы не просто переводить такие слова на русский, а ещё и самим обладать навыком позволяющим образовывать новые слова. Об одном из способов как это можно сделать и пойдет речь далее.

Периодически в английском нам встречаются слова, которые на первый взгляд могут показаться вполне знакомыми, однако есть один момент, который немного смущает — в них используется суффикс —ship. Таких слов достаточно много и в некоторых случаях их использование не является понятным, а смысл такой трансформации не совсем очевиден из контекста. Попробуем разобраться как этот процесс влияет на получаемое слово, какой оттенок данному слову придает суффикс —ship и по какому принципу функционирует словообразование с этим суффиксом в английском языке.

Прежде всего нужно сказать, что слова с суффиксом —ship это существительные. Суффикс этот в английский пришел из древнегерманского языка, в котором указывал на форму, состояние или статус предмета или человека. Образовываться чаще всего могут от других существительных. В результате новые существительные могут на следующие аспекты:

состояние человека, его взаимоотношения (friendship — дружба);
обладание определенным навыком (salesmanship — навык продавать);
официальный или социальный статус (citizenship — гражданство);
должность или звание (membership — звание участника какого-либо клуба);
на группу людей, которые объединены чем либо (fellowship — братство).

Словообразование достаточно простое: суффикс просто добавляется к слову в форме единственного числа. Никаких других манипуляций с транформацией букв и заменой гласных не происходит. А как это происходит более конкретно смотрите в примерах ниже:

Глядя на приведенные примеры можно сказать, что новые слова образуются действительно просто. Существует правда небольшая загвоздка в том, что в английском есть еще один похожий суффикс «-hood«, который очень напоминает рассматриваемый нами по тому, как и для чего он используется. Соответственно: часть слов в английском образует новые существительные с «-ship«, а часть с «-hood» не пересекаясь между собой. Правил, которые бы регламентировали способ, по которому сортируются такие существительные и какой суффикс нужно выбрать, не существует. Отсюда следует, что как и во многих других случаях слова придется просто запоминать и изучающим иностранный язык снова придется полагаться на свою память.

На этом мы завершаем вас знакомить с суффиксом «-ship«, с помощью которого в английском создаются новые существительные, указывающие на навыки, статус, звание или принадлежность человека к группе.

Оглавление

О любом человеке можно рассказать многое, и для этого есть много существительных. Во-первых, любому человеку можно “приписать” профессию или род занятий. Как правило, при этом мы отталкиваемся от глагола. Если человек выполняет какое-либо действие, то значит это и есть его род занятий или профессия. Человек живет в социуме, который имеет “слои общества”, есть дворянство, а значит и титулы, передаваемые по наследству, крестьянство, рабы. Это не профессия и не род занятий. Человек всегда имеет статус “родства”. Например, женщина может быть матерью, женой, сестрой, свекровью, дочерью, а человек мужского пола может быть мужем, зятем, сыном, отцом, холостяком и т.д.

Суффиксы “-HOOD”, “-SHIP” и “-DOM” образуют абстрактные существительные, которые могут указывать на статус человека в обществе, но не род занятий или профессию. Суффиксы “-HOOD”, “SHIP” и “DOM” во многом похожи по смыслу, но есть и различия, поэтому давайте рассмотрим их поочередно.

Суффикс “-HOOD” пришел в английский язык с немецкого языка и часто говорит о жизни человека, когда он проходит постепенно все фазы взросления от младенца до зрелого человека. Еще суффикс “-HOOD” может указывать на качества человека, которые не относятся к его роду деятельности.

Напишу несколько примеров существительных с суффиксом “-HOOD”.

BABY = ребенок, младенец + HOOD = BABYHOOD = младенчество;

Суффикс “-SHIP” пришел в английский язык с немецкого языка и указывает на социальный статус, позицию, качество. Например, суффикс “-SHIP” образует существительные, которые указывают на “ДОЛЖНОСТИ”. Понятно, что должность не имеет ничего общего с профессией или ремеслом. Вот почему при слове “должность”, на ум сразу приходит образование, суд, административная работа.
