What are Swedish diminutives? (i.e. in English we add -y or -ie to names/words to make them cute)?

In English we often call kids Johnny instead of John, Charlie instead of Charles, etc. I'm looking for the Swedish equivalent.

When it comes to names, it is basically the same in Swedish. John is Johnnie(or y). Peter is "Pelle". Sven is "Svene". Erik is "Rikie" and such. There are so many variations. I wish I knew a link that would be helpful to you.





"is", pronounced "ese" in English is the most common one.





For example:





Good(is) = Good Things = Candy


B盲st(is) = Best (is) = Best Friend


Dag(is) = Day (is) = Pre-School





So, "IS" really IS the most well known and used!





Good Luck!
