Usage notes

Note the following properties:

  • The suffix replaces final -ть of the infinitive, preserving the preceding vowel. However, the vowel sometimes changes, as in налогоплате́льщик (nalogoplatélʹščik) above (informally often pronounced as if spelled налогоплати́льщик).
  • The corresponding feminine ends in -льщица (-lʹščica).
  • Not all nouns in -льщик are formed this way. Some are formed by adding -щик (-ščik) onto a noun ending in -л(ь), as in та́бельщик (tábelʹščik, timekeeper) from та́бель (tábelʹ, time sheet), стеко́льщик (stekólʹščik, glazier) from стекло́ (stekló, glass).
