I am looking for a synonym of " an old man"
There is a suffix in Russian "ok" (for male nouns) and "echk, ochk" for female , which gives a noun hint of meaning "small and I like it", for example, muzhik - man - muzhichok (small man)
So if there is a word for an old man - starik - what would be a colloquial for - starichok?
