The part people get wrong

Watch for double n.

Same family: sun, sunrise, sunset, sunlight, sunshine. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: Sunny comes from the noun 'sun' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-y', which often means 'full of' or 'having.' So 'sunny' literally means 'full of sun' or 'full of sunlight.'
