Sufffix -ish
The canonical use of -ish is as a suffix meaning “approximately,” as in bluish, tallish, sixish, or even hungry-ish.
This is the definition—the only definition—that you’ll find in Merriam-Webster, which notes that -ish derives from the Old English -isc, of Germanic origin, which in turn is related to similar such suffixes in Dutch (-isch) and Greek (-iskos)
Suffix -ive
Suffix -ive is also a Latin suffix that means "that performs or tends toward an (indicated) action".
Suffix -al/ic/ical/ial means realting to, or having the quality of.
Суффикс “-IC ”часто соединяется с суффиксом “- AL” и образует новый суффикс “- ICAL”, который имеет похожий смысл суффикса “-IC”. Разница между ними в том , что суффикс “ –ICAL” более разговорный, то есть чаще используется в обыденной речи, а суффикс “IC” — более “научный”, несущий именно специальную (важную) характеристику
