 Correct Usage of Prefixes My friend and I were having a discussion about using prefixes and suffixes to create new words. Can anyone define endisfunctionality? Is the en prefix correct usage? Is the en- prefix and the in- prefix interchangeable or mean the same? If the 'word' endisfunctionality were used in a written essay, how would it be punctuated or written? Any help appreciated. Confused |

| Re: Correct Usage of Prefixes They are not interchangeable, but they mean similar things at times: they both signify beginnings of actions or states, but each verb has either in- or en- (if it can take a prefix) and you must learn which one belongs to each verb. Inflame, enable, ingest, ensue... etc. |
