Augmentative nouns are either [[pejorative]]s, although distinct pejorative suffixes also exist. All augmentative nouns have female grammatical gender. Some nouns can have their augmentatives formed with different suffixes, for example, see 'kuća' above.

In ''Hrvatska gramatika'', Barić et al. do not classify adjectives formed with suffixes which intensify an action or property as augmentatives.<!-- They list the suffixes -cat, e.g. cijel ("whole") → cjelcat, and -ov(j)et(a)n, e.g. ist'''i''' ("same") → istov(j)etan. -cijat and -acat are also used in place of -cat.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hrvatski jezični portal|url=http://hjp.znanje.hr/index.php?show=search_by_id&id=f11gWhA%3D&keyword=cat|website=hjp.znanje.hr|access-date=2 February 2018|language=hr}}</ref>--> The augmentative prefixes for adjectives listed in ''Hrvatska gramatika'' are pre- ("excessively"; or excess of a favorable property),<ref name="HRpre">{{cite web|title=pre-|url=http://hjp.znanje.hr/index.php?show=search_by_id&id=eVhlWhg%3D&keyword=pre|website=Hrvatski jezični portal|access-date=2 February 2018|language=hr}}</ref> hiper- ("hyper-"), super- and ultra-.<ref name="gramatika1997" /> According to ''Hrvatska enciklopedija'', augmentative verbs surpass their base verb with their intensity.<ref name="enciklopedija" /> However, by defining augmentative verbs as an action done excessively,<ref>{{cite web|title=Glagolski vid § 234.6|url=https://is.muni.cz/el/1421/podzim2013/CHA301/um/Gl._vid.txt|publisher=Masaryk University}}</ref> ''Hrvatska gramatika'' only lists pre- ("over-") as an augmentative verb.<ref name="gramatika1997" />
