Exploring Prefixes in Vocabulary
In this episode, the podcast delves into the concept of prefixes in vocabulary. Prefixes are small parts of words added to the beginning of base words to alter their meaning. For example, the prefix 'un-' in 'unhappy' changes it to mean 'not happy.' The podcast provides examples like 'uncomfortable' and 'unhygienic' to explain how prefixes modify word meanings.
