Augmentativity as one of the components of the quantity category produces a subjective and evaluative meaning of big size or an extensively expressed feature. The main way of expressing augmentativity in Tundra Yukaghir is an augmentative affix -tege and its variant -tke. The augmentative meaning of the affix can be realized with the help of nouns, verbs, modal particles and interjective-modal words. The augmentatives are classified by their meaning and belonging of their stem to the parts of speech. The specificity of the marker -tege и -tke is in the fact of using one of them depending on a final sound of the root or stem.
