• Noun + -н- (-n-): To create adjectives related to the noun (e.g., шерсть - шерстяной, 'wool - woolen').
• Verb + -ем- (-em-): similar to '-able' to create adjectives (e.g., любить - любимый, 'to love - lovable').
• Adjective + -ист- (-ist-): To show a tendency to something. E.g., эго - эгоист (ego - egoist).
