What is suffix for boy?

There isn't a specific suffix in English that means "boy".

However, there are some suffixes that can be used to indicate a young male, depending on the specific word:

* -ling (young animal): This suffix can be used to indicate a young boy in some cases, but it's not a common one. For example, "princeling" refers to a young prince.

* -ette (feminine diminutive): This suffix is usually used to indicate a female version of a word, but it can sometimes be used to refer to a young boy in a playful or informal way. For example, "manette" can refer to a young man, but this is a very uncommon use.

It's important to note that these are not standard suffixes for "boy" and their usage is limited to specific contexts.

If you're looking for a word that means "boy", you'll need to use a different word altogether, such as:

* Boy

* Lad

* Young man

* Kid

* Youth

* Son (if referring to a specific boy)
