Suffix

-ālis m. and f. (neuter -āle); third declension

1. Used to form adjectives of relationship from nouns or numerals.

Usage notes

The suffix -āris is added to a noun or numeral to form an adjective of relationship to that noun.

Examples:

duālis (“that contains two”) < duo (“two”)

nātūrālis (“natural”) < nātūra (“nature”)

rēgālis (“regal, royal”) < rēx (“king, ruler”)

If the root word ends in -l or -lis, -āris is generally used instead. Sometimes both forms are found; e.g., līneālis and līneāris.
