<p>So the valid ones for Little princess are:

<p>"Princetino" would be like:
A little descendant of some royal crown who is female.</p>

<p>I was thinking what is the correct way to say "Little princess" in Ido.</p>

<p>(EN) Little princess - Little (indicates the "size") Princess (descendant of some royal crown and that descendant is female).</p>

<p>(ES) Princesita - Princes (root), -it- (suffix for "litte"), -a (indicates female gender).</p>

<p>We should translate as in english like "Mikra princino"? or in the Spanish way like "Princetino"? </p>

<p>If Ido suffixes are agglutinative, is there a particular order? "-et" suffix for little "-in" for female... we could get "Princineto".</p>

Longer strings of suffixes are very ordinary in Esperanto, so I would assume they're acceptable in Ido.

I was thinking what is the correct way to say "Little princess" in Ido.

(EN) Little princess - Little (indicates the "size") Princess (descendant of some royal crown and that descendant is female).

(ES) Princesita - Princes (root), -it- (suffix for "litte"), -a (indicates female gender).

We should translate as in english like "Mikra princino"? or in the Spanish way like "Princetino"?

If Ido suffixes are agglutinative, is there a particular order? "-et" suffix for little "-in" for female... we could get "Princineto".

So the valid ones for Little princess are:
1. Mikra princino = "Little" + "female descendant of some royal crown"
2. Princineto = A female descendant of some royal crown who is little.

"Princetino" would be like:
A little descendant of some royal crown who is female.
