| 单词 | -ful |
| 释义 | -ful a suffix meaning "full of," "characterized by" (shameful; beautiful; careful; thoughtful); "tending to," "able to" (wakeful; harmful); "as much as will fill" (spoonful). [ME, OE -full, -ful, repr. full, ful FULL1] Usage. The plurals of nouns ending in -FUL are usually formed by adding -s to the suffix: two cupfuls; two scant teaspoonfuls. Perhaps influenced by the phrase in which a noun is followed by the adjective FULL (both arms full of packages), some speakers and writers pluralize such nouns by adding -s before the suffix: two cupsful. |
