                           AFFIXATION

- Affixation
   is the process where we take a base form word and we add aa prefix, infix, or suffix.

          Example :

     Unconditionally  》un + conditional + ly
     Unspeakable       》un +    speak    + able
     Subconsciously  》sub + conscious + ly

- Prefix
   is an affixation process that includes adding a morpheme at the beginning of the word.

          Example :

      Un-              Unhappy
      Multi-          Multicultural
      Over-           Overwork
      Cyber-         Cyberspace
      Super-         Supermarket

- Suffix
   is a segment that we add at the end of the word.

         Example :

      -ish              childish
      -er                teacher
      -less            tasteless
      -ize/ ise      idolize/ idolise
      -able           likeable

- Infix
   is what goes between the prefix and the root.

         Example :
