Prefixes in the Russian language and their meaning

The definition of a prefix in Russian is as follows:A significant part of the word, which can both change and supplement the meaning of the word. This definition, although brief, but extremely accurate: the prefix in Russian and the truth is very, very significant, and it is subject to a complete change in the meaning of the word. Compare: understand preon the contrary (which means wrong) and prandgoalkeeper (standing at the gate).

There is an opinion that the poorer and simpler the language,the more primitive and weaker the mind of the people who own it. If you believe this opinion, then we can conclude that the Russian people - one of the most developed nations of the world. That there are only morphemes in our language! It's hard to count all consoles in Russian, not something to remember. And from foreign languages ​​to Russian all come and come new prefixes, with its own meaning.

Remember to correctly write the prefix inRussian language is quite simple, at least if we talk about the original Russian prefixes. They are divided into three groups. The first group is prefixes, the writing of which does not change under any conditions. Among them, the prefix c-. It should be remembered, in words beginning with the letters "c" and "з", the prefix can only be the letter "c", and "з" enters the root of the word.

The second group is consoles with changingconsonants: -or - -ras. About this group should remember the following: the letter "z" (-raz) is written before voiced consonants (as in the word "run") and vowels (as in the word "dressed up"), the letter "c" (-ras) is written before deaf consonants (dawn).

The same group includes prefixes withchanging vowel: To know the writing of these consoles, you need to remember only one rule: the letter "o" is written under stress (as in the word "rally"), and the letter "a" is written without emphasis (as in the word "sawed").

The third group is prefixes and prefixes.The rules for writing them are also very simple. The prefix is ​​prefixed, if the meaning is "very", or if it can be replaced with a prefix (as in the words "excellent", "abort"). The prefix is ​​attached if it is necessary to indicate the incompleteness of the action (to rise), approaching something (running), attaching (sewing), proximity to something (coastal).

Somewhat more difficult is the use of foreignprefixes in the Russian language, as here one can not be guided by any general rules, but it is necessary to memorize the spelling and meaning of each prefix. Here you will find several examples of the most frequently used foreign consoles.

Thus, a prefix of Latin origin a- indicates the absence of a sign (immorality, amenorrhea).

The prefix of Latin origin de- means the opposite effect, removal, termination (defecation).

The prefixes hypo- and hyper- designate, respectively, a decrease and an overestimation of the norm (hypotension, hyperactivity).

The Greek prefixes anti- and archi- denote, respectively, opposites and superpowers (unsanitary conditions, the archbishop).

The French prefix de- indicates the removal or absence of something (disinfection).

The Latin prefix re- designates the reverse process (regeneration).

The Latin prefixes ultra- and ex- denote, respectively, the extreme, ultimate quality (ultrasound) and movement from the inside or something former (export, ex-spouse).

In addition to the role of consoles, the story is also interesting.prefixes bes. It is known for certain that initially there was no such prefix in the Russian language, the absence of something meant the prefix "without." However, after 1917, the Communists who came to power decided to replace the last letter. What caused such a change - the incongruity of many words (such as dishonesty, ingloriousness) or a simple mockery of fears of believers (after all, the devil is called the devil) - is unknown.

One way or another, since then the prefix withoutit is used only in words in which after the prefix there is a vowel or a resonant consonant letter. And the words with the prefix besn and to this day are ridiculed by many people: the glorious devil, the devil honest, the devil hearty ...
