-ište

See also: iste, işte, -iste, and -iště

Serbo-Croatian

-ište (Cyrillic spelling -иште)

Suffix appended to words to create a neuter noun, usually denoting a place where an action occurs (noćište), and less commonly used to form augmentatives (ljudište).

In the older formations the ◌̑ accent falls onto the -i-, and is then retracted in Neo-Štokavian: blȁto > blatȋšte > blàtīšte.
Newer formations usually retain the accent of the base word: ìgra > ìgralīšte.
