When to use Suffixes 家, 子, and 员

Read noun-forming suffixes as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 家 adds to it.

她是科学家。

She is a scientist.

他是作家。

He is a writer.

Common traps

  • Do not translate noun-forming suffixes mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 家 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
