Consistent patterns for constructing words from simpler elements have a multiplicative effect on your vocabulary and greatly help in learning a language.
Just look at this example:
- 年 year
- 月 month
- 週 week
- 日 day
and
- 来年 next year
- 来月 next month
- 来週 next week
- 来日 visiting Japan
Have a nice weekend, everyone.
