About

Listened to a recent SpecGram 'Language Made Difficult' podcast episode, realized a comprehensive list of English transitive frequentatives may be helpful for my research.

(Right now, some may not be frequentatives, but they end in -le or -er.)

List go!

Frequentatives are built from other verbs, which mean "do this thing once, big time." Frequentatives mean "do this thing many times, but just a little bit."

chat -> chatter

fizz -> fizzle

spark -> sparkle

tweet -> twitter
