Inventive. Are those all suffixes though? That two words end the same way doesn't make the sequence of letters a suffix.

Well, bia, mania, ago, bique, lin and anda probably aren't, or at least they don't mean the same in both cases. Vania should be sylvania.

-mania and -bia should be -ia ("of, pertaining to"). It can be for ethnic group (Croatia, Slovakia), people (Georgia, the state), features (Nigeria), or location (Australia).

For a small, two-letter suffix, it surely has a broad usage.

angrobper14 It is correct. I am from Serbia and I am Serb not Ser, but is way is more interesting for guessing.

I think to avoid all of this the term suffix in the title should be changed to 'ends of words' or something looser. Also sakhalin was a unique touch.

Good idea! Just two notes, it is not really playable on tablet, because as soon as you have entered an answer the screen jumps out of view. It does this after every answer so every time you have to scroll back up again, which is extremely annoying and frustrating. (I finished the quiz, but if it would have been longer I wouldnt have).

plus I dont see why the yellow box is necessary, there is no way you can accidentally fill in other answers.

I agree - not sure why this is a "yellow box" quiz. Would suggest that the difficulty be increased by reducing the time allotment.

That was not my intent - sorry you got that idea. In fact, I hate "speed typists" and will avoid that type of quiz (unless it's to get a point or two - if that). That said, I think there should be limits on the amount of time given for any quiz, just to prevent randomly typing every possible answer for every question until you get it.

I'll finish with a "thought question" - should you get credit for a right answer, in that answer was the 5th, or 10th, (or whatever) one you tried?

I'm sorry but most of the answers are not suffixes. The "lin" in Berlin/Sakhalin, the "bia" in Zambia/Serbia, the "que" in Martinique/Mozambique, the "ago" in Santiago/Tobago are not suffixes, just combinations of letters!

"Vania" may be a suffix but not in the two examples reported, where the actual suffix is "sylvania" - from Latin "silvis, silvis" - meaning "woodland".

"Mania" in Tasmania and Romania is not the suffix, which should be "-ia", meaning "land of (what precedes)": Romania is "land of the Romans", Tasmania is "land of Tasman".

Very disappointing quiz to be honest.

The word 'suffix' is used in a broad sense here, to mean a common combination of letters at the end of words.

I bandwagon with the suffix thing. Some of those aren't suffixes. It's just a matter of precision, but you should call these "same ending" or something like that. In some cases they are actual suffixes, but the affix isn't the answer (e.g. -mania for -ia)

Great quiz! However for the case of Hyderabad and Islamabad the "abad" is actually the shared part which means "cultivated place"

Good fun!

The one with "ton" can also be "borough"... I suppose I'm only aware of that though because Kingsborough is quite close to me. It's tiny as well. If you wanted to make a type-in though it would be correct..?
