Surface Forms

indeedy main

Morphology

indeedy = indeed (transparent) = indeed + y

Formed by adding the colloquial suffix '-y' to 'indeed' to create a playful or emphatic variant, so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Indeedy is a playful form of indeed, made by adding the friendly ending -y. A helpful way to remember it is that it means 'indeed' or 'certainly' but in a joking or extra-enthusiastic way.
