What is the meaning of the suffix ation?

Answer 1

It changes verbs ending in -ate into nouns meaning the act of doing whatever the verb says. The verb ending -ate is replaced by -ation. A verb like nominate is changed to nomination which means the act of nominating. Or a verb like create becomes creation, the act of creating.

Answer 2

The suffix "-ation" is used to form nouns from verbs, indicating an action, process, or result. For example, "education" is the result of educating, "organization" is the act of organizing, and "evaluation" is the process of evaluating.

Answer 3

The suffix 'ation' means action or process. For example, 'taxation' is the process of charging for tax. 'Elevation' is the action of raising a person or object.
