-ik is a diminuitive, -chik is the suffix for a person who does something ...i am not russian and out of touch with the language right now, so this may be inaccurate, but i think that the diminuitive of -ik resounds sometimes | 3 | |
-ik and -chik are both a diminutives added to masculine nouns, the choice between them depending on the last letter of the word you wish to diminish. | 4 | |
cik a suffix in turkish to stress on to denote something is smaller,less | 5 | |
