🔖 Suffix - Prefix এর Rules
Prefix & Suffix এর মাধ্যমে conversion of words (শব্দের রুপান্তর) সম্পর্কে জানা যায়। Prefix & Suffix এর আলোচনা করতে গেলে যে term টা সামনে আসে সেটা হল - Affix.
এখন প্রশ্ন হলো, What is Affix?
📌 Affix:
Affix মানে হলো জুড়ে দেওয়া। যদি আমরা সরল ভাষায় বলি, তাহলে Affix হলো semi-words বা অর্ধ শব্দ বা শব্দাংশ। এরা কখনো স্বাধীনভাবে অর্থ প্রকাশ করতে পারে না বা এদের নিজস্ব স্বাধীন কোন অর্থ নেই। কিন্তু যখন এটা কোনো Root Word বা মূল শব্দের সাথে Attach/Fix করা হয়, তখন এটি অর্থ প্রকাশে সাহায্য করে।
Affix সাধারণ তিন প্রকার:
- Prefix
- Suffix
- Infix
📌 Prefix:
Root Word বা মূল শব্দের পূর্বে যে Affix গুলো যুক্ত হয়ে নতুন শব্দ তৈরি করে, তাদের Prefix বলে।
যেমন:
- Dis + honest = Dishonest
- Un + happy = Unhappy
- *Im + possible = Impossible
📌 Suffix:
Root Word বা মূল শব্দের পরে যে Affix গুলো যুক্ত হয়ে নতুন শব্দ তৈরি করে, তাদের Suffix বলে।
যেমন:
- Faith + Full = Faithful
- Read + Able = Readable
- Use + less = Useless
📌 Infix:
Root Word বা মূল শব্দের ভিতরে পরিবর্তন হয়ে নতুন শব্দ তৈরি করলে, তাদের Infix বলে।
যেমন:
- Able → Ability
- Life → Live
📌 Note:
এমন অনেক শব্দ আছে, যার পূর্বে Prefix এবং পরে Suffix উভয়ই বসতে পারে।
যেমন:
- Unnecessarily = un + necessary + ly
- Unstoppable = un + stop + able
- Irregularly = ir + regular + ly
- Unhelpful = un + help + ful
- Disadvantageous = dis + advantage + ous
📌 Prefix এর মাধ্যমে গঠিত শব্দ মূল শব্দের বিপরীত অর্থ দেয়:
যেমন:
- Dis + honest = Dishonest
- Non + stop = Nonstop
- Dis + allow = Disallow
📌 Suffix এর মাধ্যমে গঠিত শব্দে মূল শব্দের অর্থের পরিবর্তন হয় না, তবে Parts of Speech এর পরিবর্তন হয়:
যেমন:
- Digit + al = Digital
- Write + r = Writer
📌 Question Pattern:
“পরীক্ষায় ১০ টি Root Word বা মূল শব্দ দেওয়া থাকবে। শব্দগুলোকে বাক্যের অর্থ অনুযায়ী Prefix কিংবা Suffix যোগ করে Noun, Verb, Adjective অথবা Adverb এ রূপান্তর করতে হবে। প্রয়োজনে Prefix ও Suffix একত্রে ব্যবহার করতে হবে।”

Spelling Rules
🔖 Suffix এ ভালো করতে হলে Suffix এর Spelling Rules জানতে হবে
📌 Rule-1
কোন word যখন Consonant দিয়ে শেষ হয় এবং Suffix টি একটি Consonant দিয়ে শুরু হয়, তখন কোন অক্ষর পরিবর্তন না করে Suffix টি যুক্ত হয়।
যেমন:
🔸 Entertainment = entertain + ment
🔸 Regretful = regret + ful
📌 Rule-2
একটি Consonant দিয়ে শেষ হওয়া বেশিরভাগ word এর জন্য Suffix যুক্ত করার সময় শেষের Letter টি দুটি বানাতে হবে। এটি বিশেষ করে এক syllable বিশিষ্ট Word গুলোর ক্ষেত্রে প্রযোজ্য।
যেমন:
🔸 Run + ing = running
🔸 Fun + y = funny
📌 Rule-3
এক syllable বিশিষ্ট Word যখন একাধিক Consonant দিয়ে শেষ হয়, তখন শেষের Letter টি দু’টো বানাতে হবে না।
যেমন:
🔸 Start + ing = starting
🔸 Ring + ing = ringing
📌 Rule-4
একাধিক syllable বিশিষ্ট এবং “L” দিয়ে শেষ হওয়া Word গুলোর জন্য Suffix যুক্ত করার সময় অবশ্যই “L” কে Double “LL” করতে হবে।
যেমন:
🔸 Reveal + ing = revelling
🔸 Cancel + ed = cancelled
📌 Rule-5
যেসব word এর শেষ syllable এ জোর দেওয়া হয় এবং যেগুলো একটি Consonant দিয়ে শেষ হয়, সেগুলোর ক্ষেত্রে শেষের Letter টি দুটো হবে।
যেমন:
🔸 Refer + ing = referring
🔸 Begin + er = beginner
📌 Rule-6

🔸 Offer + ing = offering
📌 Rule-7
অনুচ্চারিত “e” যুক্ত শব্দ একটি Consonant ও “y” দিয়ে শেষ হলে Suffix যুক্ত করার সময় “y” পরিবর্তিত হয়ে “i” হবে। “y” দ্বারা শেষ হওয়া শব্দে “ing” Suffix যুক্ত করার সময় “y” ই থাকবে।
যেমন:
🔸 Lonely + ness = loneliness
🔸 Happy + ness = happiness
🔸 Copy + ing = copying
