The video tutorial explains the suffixes IBL and AL, which mean 'able to' or 'fit for.' It provides a general rule for using these suffixes: use AL if the base word is complete on its own, like 'Dependable.' Exceptions to this rule include words like 'accessible' and 'digestible,' which use IBL despite having complete base words. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of visual checks for correct spelling and notes that AL is more frequently used and productive for creating new words.
