# -nis
## Dutch
### Etymology

From Old Dutch -nissi, -nussi, from Proto-West Germanic *-nassī.

### Suffix

-nis f (plural -nissen)
* -ment, -ation, -ness

#### Usage notes

* While a cognate of -ness, this Dutch suffix is not an exact equivalent semantically; for example, it is not restricted to abstract nouns representing states of being but also produces more concrete, countable nouns, particularly action nouns.
* The deverbal suffix -nis proved one of the most productive noun-forming suffixes in Dutch up until 16th century Dutch. It was a deverbal noun former and formed with verbal stems, infinitives or participles. Nowadays, the suffix -nis “-ness” is either no longer productive or at most marginally productive.
* In a few cases, the suffix carries a neuter gender; for example in vonnis and vuilnis
