Unit 3 - 6 minutes Vocabulary : Frefixes

I learn from BBC Learning English website in unit 3 talk about vocabulary : frefixes,
i write this post to remember what i learn and i make this own example. 

a prefix is a small part of a word, usually just a couple of letters, that we put at the front of a base word to change its meaning.

Here are the prefixes and examples used in the programe:

un -

unhappy
the fans were very unhappy when the artist sick

uncooked
i can't eat these uncooked pie. they are very sour

unclean
that air is unclean. we will sick if breath here

other words with un - : unconfortabe, unhygienic

in -

intolerable
this heat is intolerable. it's making me feel ill

inexpensive ==> cheap
the shop sells inexpensive table phone

inactive
he's put on weight because he is so inactive. He should join a gym

dis -

disagree
i disagree with my girlfriend what we will watch in cinema

disgrace ==> (ashamed of -> memalukan)
your attitude is a disgrace


disguting (horrible -> menakutkan / menjijikan)
there's a disgusting smell in the bathroom

other prefix : misleading (menyesatkan); mistake (kesalahan)

tips:
if you look up some today's words in a dictionary, you'll find lots more words starting with the same prefixes. Many of them may be words that you already knew without the prefix. So, when you add a prefix, you get two words for the price of one.
