What is the opposite of the '-let' suffix? For example, if 'manlet' means a short guy, what suffix could be used to denote a tall guy? Same with brainlet, chinlet etc.

In English the typical thing to do seems to be to borrow the German "uber" as a prefix.
>if 'manlet' means a short guy, what suffix could be used to denote a tall guy?
A Big Guy.
>brainlet
Brainiac.
>chinlet
Fuck is that?
>manlet
lanklet
>brainlet

>chinlet

Diminutives don't always have symmetrical augmentatives
>Fuck is that?
we should have them though
okay let's just decide on one right now. post your potential augmentative and dubs wins unless it's obvious shit
I agree, though the issue ostensibly seems to be syntactical efficacy.
Perhaps some language/philology bro could weigh in
-tel could work.
'-ly'
manlet / manly
brainlet / brainly
chinlet / chinly
'-let' is shortcoming, lack of
'-ly' is plenty, fulfilling
-ly creates adjectives and adverbs. We're looking for nouns.
-ful of course
manful
Manful.
Brainful.
Chinful.
Sexful.
I second this movement.
jawlets, when will they learn?

Won't work for words like man
I'm a native English speaker, and -ful or -tel would both work.
-tel would come from the root teleo, is -let but backwords, has a more masculine feel to it, etc.
Mantel
Braintel
Chintel
Sextel
>Mantel
ja geil alta
Don't forget dicklet
-man.
Sexman. Dickman. Brainman. Chinman.
Manman works as "manly-man" or "man's man".
-ton
>Manton
>Brainton
>Chinton
...manticore
chinticore
lankicore
