- ма́лый (mályj, “small”) → ма́ленький (málenʹkij, “small”)
- но́вый (nóvyj, “new”) → но́венький (nóvenʹkij, “brand new”)
- молодо́й (molodój, “young”) → моло́денький (molódenʹkij, “very young”)
Usage notes
- The stress is drawn onto the syllable preceding the suffix.
- This suffix is not used after roots ending in г, к, х, where -онький (-onʹkij) is used instead.
