	Hi Esperanto-speakers, I wonder if you could help me out with a question I've had for a little while now, but been unable to find information on. When you're adding multiple suffixes to a word, how do you know what order to put them in? For example, I just came upon the word "dankema" (grateful) and wondered how one would turn that into "very grateful": - dank-em-eg-a? - dank-eg-em-a? - or are both possible? Is there some sort of generally established rule for which suffix comes first in a complicated word? Thanks in advance for any information. 1 person has voted this message useful

	Suffixes are analysed left to right: arb-ar-et-o = small forest arb-et-ar-o = forest of small trees 5 persons have voted this message useful

	Ah ha, thank you very much, Sprachprofi! By that logic, I think I can answer my own question: it would be dankemega, wouldn't it? Thanks for the tip! 1 person has voted this message useful
