I'm using:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[table]{xcolor}

\definecolor{fucsia}{RGB}{196,0,98}


\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}
\arrayrulecolor{fucsia}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{!{\color{fucsia}\vline} l !{\color{white}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Suffix}} & \multicolumn{1}{l !{\color{white}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Agregar a}} & \multicolumn{1}{l !{\color{white}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Significado}} & \multicolumn{1}{l !{\color{fucsia}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Ejemplo}}\\
\rowcolor{white}
-y & sustantivos &  & snowy \\
\rowcolor{white}
 &  &  & lucky \\
\hline
\rowcolor{white}
-ly & sustantivos &  & friendly \\
\rowcolor{white}
 &  & with the & weekly \\
\hline
\rowcolor{white}
-ous & sustantivos & quality of & dangerous \\
\rowcolor{white}
 &  &  & mysterious \\
\hline
\rowcolor{white}
-al & sustantivos &  & economical \\
\rowcolor{white}
 &  &  & national \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document} 

enter image description here

What I want to do is to change to while colour the horizontal lines of the third column. Except the one at the end which completes the edge of the table.

Use the hhline package as it doesn't conflict with row coloring.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\definecolor{fucsia}{RGB}{196,0,98}
\usepackage{hhline}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}
\arrayrulecolor{fucsia}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{!{\color{fucsia}\vline} l !{\color{white}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Suffix}} & \multicolumn{1}{l !{\color{white}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Agregar a}} & \multicolumn{1}{l !{\color{white}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Significado}} & \multicolumn{1}{l !{\color{fucsia}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Ejemplo}}\\
\rowcolor{white}
-y & sustantivos &  & snowy \\
\rowcolor{white}
 &  &  & lucky \\
\hhline{--~-}
\rowcolor{white}
-ly & sustantivos &  & friendly \\
\rowcolor{white}
 &  & with the & weekly \\
\hhline{--~-}
\rowcolor{white}
-ous & sustantivos & quality of & dangerous \\
\rowcolor{white}
 &  &  & mysterious \\
\hhline{--~-}
\rowcolor{white}
-al & sustantivos &  & economical \\
\rowcolor{white}
 &  &  & national \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

You can do that with hhline. I took the opportunity to simplify your code: \rowcolor{white} isn't necessary.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\definecolor{fucsia}{RGB}{196,0,98}
\usepackage{hhline}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}
\arrayrulecolor{fucsia}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{!{\color{fucsia}\vline} l !{\color{white}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Suffix}} & \multicolumn{1}{l !{\color{white}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Agregar a}} & \multicolumn{1}{l !{\color{white}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Significado}} & \multicolumn{1}{l !{\color{fucsia}\vline}}{\cellcolor{fucsia}\color{white}\textbf{Ejemplo}}\\
-y & sustantivos & & snowy \\
 & & & lucky \\
\hhline{---~}
-ly & sustantivos & & friendly \\
 & & with the & weekly \\
\hhline{---~}
-ous & sustantivos & quality of & dangerous \\
 & & & mysterious \\
\hhline{---~}
-al & sustantivos & & economical \\
 & & & national \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

  • The reason why I added \rowcolor{white} is because I'll put this table in a chart, and the chart has a different colour. It's just style.

  • I see. Sorry for removing it. What I had not seen is AboAmmar had posted (almost) the same code. I'll remove my answer in a moment. Comment aside: in my opinion, no white vertical rules in the first row would be nicer.
