The present paper deals with the translation of an important stylistic element of the Lithuanian language: the diminutive suffixes and their derivatives. The translation of the meanings conveyed by these suffixes is a challenge, especially when translating into languages that do not possess such a wide range of diminutive suffixes or use this morphological device very seldom. This paper examines the Spanish version of the first part of the poem Metai (Las estaciones del año, translated by Carmen Caro Dugo, 2013), by K. Donelaitis, as well as both translations into English of the same text. The comparative analysis of the Spanish and English versions can provide a more complete view of the means used by translators to convey the meanings denoted by the Lithuanian diminutive suffixesDownloads
