入り and 付き in these sentences


I saw some sentences like this, but I couldn't understand them. What do they
mean?

> 砂糖入りのお茶。
>
> 胡椒付きのサラダ。




>   1. 砂糖[入り]{いり}のお茶 = 砂糖が入っているお茶
>   2. 胡椒付きのサラダ = 胡椒が付いているサラダ
>

入り and 付き are suffixes derived from the verbs 入る and 付く. The forms 入り and 付き
are the 連用形 _renyōkei_ ( _masu_ -stem) of the verbs and behave much like
nouns. This is why you see that 砂糖入り modifies お茶, a noun, with の.

For translation you could go for

>   1. tea containing sugar
>   2. salad with pepper
>

Many verbs do this, by the way. For example the suffix ～生まれ attaches to places
and means "born in", e.g.

> 東京生まれの人  
>  a person born in Tokyo
>
> アメリカ生まれの日本人  
>  a Japanese born in America
