{{also|-istä|ista|istà|išta|īsta|īstā}}

==English==

===Etymology===
From {{bor|en|es|-ista}} in "{{w|Sandinista}}" (1930s).

===Pronunciation===
* {{IPA|en|/-ˈistə/}}

===Suffix===
{{en-suffix||ista}}

# {{n-g|Forms nouns denoting one who follows a [[principle]]; an [[adept]].}}
#: {{suffixusex|en|fashion|fashionista}}
#: {{suffixusex|en|Marx|Marxista}}
#: {{suffixusex|en|Lincoln|Lincolnista}}

====Usage notes====
Words formed using this suffix usually have more of a pejorative connotation than related words formed using {{m|en|-ist}}. Historically, this connotation tended to be associated with [[socialism]] (in reference to [[Sandinista]]s), but may also connote a general connection to Latin America or apolitical pejorativeness.
