Suffixes -ic and -ical?

[Alexandre Derezhenko]

What's the difference between suffixes -ic and -ical?

[vil]

Hi Alexander Derezhenko,

Words which end in -ic are stressed on the syllable immediaately before the ending, the second-to-last sillable. Words ending in -ical or simply in -al are stressed on the third-to-last syllable.

lethargic genetic
political abdominal
anemic cranial
critical visual
strategic spesific
medical clinical
