* -sion: This suffix is often used to create nouns from verbs, indicating an act, process, or state. It usually implies a continuation or duration of the action.
* Examples:
* Admission (from the verb "admit")
* Decision (from the verb "decide")
* Revision (from the verb "revise")
* -tion: This suffix also creates nouns from verbs, but it often implies a result or product of the action.
* Examples:
* Education (from the verb "educate")
* Celebration (from the verb "celebrate")
* Creation (from the verb "create")
However, "-sion" is often used instead of "-tion" when the verb root ends in a "d" or "t" sound. This helps to avoid a repetition of the sound.
* Examples:
* Confession (instead of "confection")
* Ascension (instead of "ascention")
* Suspension (instead of "suspention")
So, while "-sion" doesn't have a specific meaning by itself, it helps to create nouns and can often imply a continuation, duration, or result of the action described by the verb root.
