PREFIX and SUFFIX IN ENGLISH
ngoc anh nguyen
As you may know, English is one of the languages having with biggest lexicon. In English there are many different ways to form a new words, and adding a prefix or suffix is one of most popular ways. In our forum today, I would like all of us to collect as many prefixes/suffixes as you can.
Let me demonstrate.
Prefix: un-, in-, im-: are often added before an adjective to make a new one with opposite meaning.
for example:
- fair => unfair
- talented => untalented
- comfortable => uncomfortable
- active => inactive
- possible => impossible
for example:
- care => careless
- hope => hopeless
- use => useless
- home => homeless
- job => jobless
Best regards,
P.S The previous topic "what is the most useful technology in your English studies?" is still waiting for more ideas from members. Do not hesitate to share with us.

Hi everybody! I will provide a few words, which have prefix and suffix. I have collected. If I supply incorrectly words, hope you correct them for me. T Adjectives when we add prefixes, they will have opposite mean with old mean . For example: Prefix “un” Happy => unhappy Lucky => unlucky Important => unimportant Quiet => unquiet Available => unavailable Conventional => unconventional Prefix “im” Pollite => impollite Moral => immoral Patient => impatient Mature => immature Mobile => immobile Prefix “ in” Correct => incorrect Expensive => inexpensive Accurate => inaccurate Attentive => inattentive Convenient => inconvenient Secure => insecure Prefix “dis” Advantageous => disadvantageous Appointed => disappointed Prefix “ir” Responsible => irresponsible T Nouns when we add suffix, they will have opposite mean with old mean . For example: Suffix “less” Tree => treeless Father => fatherless Mother => motherless Sleep => sleepless House => houseless
