Also Spanish: the -ito and -isimo suffixes magnify the intensity or size of an adjective or noun, respectively.

e.g. hermana is sister, hermanita is little sister.

How would you phrase it? I'm not quite sure how you can magnify the intensity of a noun or the size of an adjective.

I guess he understood (as I did) that you meant respectively to -ito and -ísimo, not to "intensity" and "size".
