I'm getting the impression that you meant
adjectives ending in the suffixes -ful and -less, innit?
Basically,
adjectives ending in -ful are in opposition to
adjectives ending in -less; the suffix
-ful means
with/having the qualities of, while
-less without/lacking:
careful vs.
careless faithful vs.
faithless hopeful vs.
hopeless
It's worth mentioning that not every adjective ending in
-ful has an opposite counterpart in an adjective ending in
-less, and vice versa:
beautiful, but not
beautiless worthless, but not
worthful
