I have a sentence フライト・アテンダントはよく話しかけてくれて親しみがありました。 Where 話しかけて is what I can't
understand. What sort of suffix is "shikakete"? Or is it two suffixes, shi +
kakete?

question
verbs suffixes
Please help to understand the verb suffix 掛ける
話しかける or 話し掛ける means to address or speak to someone.

You can think of it as two suffixes shi + kakeru, but it looks more like two
verbs to me. There are many verbs with かける (掛ける) attached. For example, 投げ掛ける
meaning to "throw at" or 呼び掛ける meaning "to call out to".

With your example, the difference between 話して and 話し掛けて might be that the
latter assumes that your not as close to the person as in the former.
