Answer 2

In general, when adding a suffix to a word that ends in a vowel plus the letter y, do not drop the y before adding a suffix.

Step-by-step explanation:

A suffix, also known as postfix, refers to an affix that is attached to a word to create a new word with a different meaning. Reason why they are commonly called afformatives since they can alter the form of the words.

In the particular case of adding a suffix to a word that end in y you should: change the y to i before a suffix if the word ends in y before a consonant. On the other hand, if the word ends in y before a vowel, do not drop the y before adding a suffix.
