-иня or -и́ня or -иня́ • (-inja or -ínja or -injá)
In the recent times, this suffix is increasingly used to form feminine form of nouns ending with -лог (-log) (-logist), although many people may consider it as a neologism, and therefore choose to avoid it, replacing -иня with more traditional -лог (-log) or -логи́чка (-logíčka), despite the fact that -логичка may be considered as impolite. The use of -логиня is often associated with the younger generation or politically liberal milieu, like e.g. feminists or anarchists.
