I am confused with how the parts of speech in Japanese works, what phonemic endings to apply on what part of speech to command what kind of semantic or speech changes.
In English, the language I previously learned, we can change strong, to strength, to strenghen. We can change nation, to national, to nationalize. Fix to fixture, to fixation, to fixer, to fixable depending on what nuances of speech we want to command. This is the flexibility of English. I want to believe that the same flexibility should exist in Japanese and I start to google for this.
These are some of my earliest findings, I hope Japanese experts in this forum could give me some more links or personal enlightenment in the knowledge of Japanese morphology and its flexes.

Denominal and deadjectival verbs
These are what I already know:
Adjective to nouns
高い -> 高さ
強い ー> 強さ
固い ー> 固さ
Nouns to verbs
強め -> 強める/強まる
固め -> 固める/固まる
高い -> 高める/高まる
I hope to understand the whole pictures of Japanese morphology to be able to multiply the vocabularies I already known by reusing them morphologically.
