屈折詞綴

Inflectional affixes （屈折詞綴）（inflectional morphemes）:

inflection: the manifestation of grammatical relationship through the addition of inflectional affixes,such as number,person,finiteness,aspect and case,which do not change the grammatical class of the stems to which they are attached.

屈折變化：屈折變化是通過附加屈折詞綴的語法關係的表現，如數、人稱、有定性、體、格，屈折詞綴不會改變所附加詞語的語法類。

affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional
