Indicating a characteristic with 性
To express that something has a certain characteristic or quality, add the suffix 性 to a word, forming an abstract noun like 可能性 (possibility) or 科学性 (scientific nature). This suffix often attaches to adjectives or verbs, but some nouns can also take it. Be aware that 性 cannot be used freely with every word—common combinations are best learned as set vocabulary.
