Hi, please could you break down the suffix of “logue” if it is a suffix, because I looked it up and found nothing then.

Yes, "-logue" is a suffix, though it comes from the Greek "-logos" (meaning "speech" or "discourse"). It appears in words like: * Dialogue (conversation between two or more people) * Monologue (a long speech by one person) * Catalogue (a list with descriptions) In American English, some words drop the "-ue" (e.g., "catalog" instead of "catalogue").
