    Default question on morphology

    for the words "nationalistic" and "editorial", there are suffixes for each word.

    nationalistic , suffix -al , -istic

    editorial, suffix -or , -ial


    For the four morphemes, which are derivational and which are inflectional ?



    thanks

    They're derivational; to me.
