Big news to make sense of words I encounter each day:
In Italian there is a noun and its magnified & minimized forms:
Casa, Casina, Casona
But there are also cutifiers & uglifiers, too!
Casetta/Casuccia, Casaccia
Pentola (pot)
Pentolino (little pot)
Pentolone (cauldron)
Pentolaccia (piñata game, ugly pot to break)
Libro (book)
Libretto (small)
Librino (very small)
Libricino (cute small)
Librone (big)
Libraccio (pulp/trash)
-accio is bad, -uccio is cute
These decline for gender, number, etc
