Understanding Prefixes: Un, Dis, Im, Mis

A prefix is suffix which is always placed in the beginning of the root of a word to change its meaning and may not be written separately (with space). Particularly in the linguistics, a prefix is also called preformative.  For example, re + verb means doing something again, back as in return, repeat or refurbish.

These are four prefix which is something very confusing because they all have negative meaning. I am interested to explain this kind of prefix that I found a question about this in a TOEFL test.

un-
The prefix un means not, reverse action, deprive of, release from. For example, unable or unfair.

mis-
The prefix mis means wrong. For example, mistake or misunderstand.

dis-
The prefix dis also means not and opposite of. For example, disconnect.

im-
The prefix im can also mean not and opposite of. For example, impossible.

Have you figured it out? Well, please note that not all word can use prefixes above. To sharpen your understanding you should join quiz about prefix.

slow internet connection speed is so stressful

It's bad to be born in Indonesia where everything is super slow including internet particularly. It's so stressful when I am buffering video and watching Youtube with such speed, in fact when opening up Google either.


I almost bought samsung galaxy tab 2.7.0 p3110

That night, I visited Samsung Mobile Plaza to ask about Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7.0 P3110 which does not feature phone service, except wifi and other basic tablet features. I actually didn't mean to go there as I was heading to my dormitory from supermarket. I thought it's just been awhile I was interested to buy a tablet, so why not I checked it in Samsung Mobile Plaza.

Being there the first question I asked to the employee is about the avaibility of the tablet that I had been phoning many electronic stores, but they didn't have it on sale. Fortunately, the employee said they had, there were only two available. The bad thing is I didn't bring sufficient money in the night, thus I asked him to save one for me. I gave him my mobile number and my address. I told him I'd come again tomorrow. Then, I went home.

In the way, I had been thinking why not I took my money from ATM and bought it tonight. Well then, I rode my motorcycle fast to my dormitory to see my ATM pin number because I forgot it. So done, I went to the ATM and I already pressed amount of money I was about to take. Holy crap! I inserted wrong pin number more than 3 times. As result, my ATM card is blocked and I had to renew it. Oh no!

Thursday 25/4, I went to the bank where I opened an account to take money, and if I had chance I would replace my ATM card. Nevertheless, I couldn't to, because the bank CS was taking a rest. She said I might come again by 2PM. Doesn't matter anyway, at least I got my money.

Then I was thinking for a moment. Did I really need this stuff? Moreover, I had sold 2 shares of PM from my brokerage account to get extra money. I was confused again, seriously. I called my mom, and she just said "up to you." I thought of my long term goal that requires much money, so finally I decided to save up for this. I cancelled to buy the tablet. What I did then, was buying gold bar in ANTAM, although it's not much, but it would be my long term investment though.

I currently sold two shares of PM on my broker OptionsXpress

Today, I was phoned by the employee of the Samsung Mobile Plaza regarding the table I was about to buy. I just apologized because I cancelled it and it's just fine.

This is one of the men who was deported from saudi arabia

Do you still remember about 3 men from Dubai who were deported from Saudi Arabia because they are too handsome? If you do, here is one of them. His name is Omar Borkan Al Gala. He works ass fashion photographer, poet, and actor in Dubai.

As a man, his good looking might be irresistible for women, especially those Arabic women. Saudi Arabian men were just way afraid if their wives' heart stolen by these men. Thus, there is no way but deporting them to their country.










For more Omar Borkan Al Gala's photos you can visit his Facebook page here.

Update: Boston Bomber Suspect

President Obama has a million of question for the 19-years-old Boston bomber suspect, Dzhokar Tsarnaev especially why he did throw bomb at Boston Marathon. However, Dzhokar Tsarnaev is currently cannot communicate with anyone because of his fatal wound on his neck. The wound reportedly hit by police bullet during wild gun battle in Watertown as he hided on the resident's lovely boat.

Dzhokar Tsarnaev may have a lawyer and deserve Miranda's Right, but the problem is how come Dzhokar Tsarnaev can stand trial and face his charge with such condition? Furthermore, CNN has updated this case that Dzhokar Tsarnaev may be charged in his hospital bed Sunday. It is said that the judge will come to the hospital when he is hospitalized.

merokok lagi...

Yang namanya kebiasaan merokok itu memang susah sekali ditinggalin. It seems otak kita itu tiba2 saja mau kita merokok setelah waktu yang lama. Is it true that cigarette has material that can automatically program our brain to smoke again after a long time? Who know, I wish there would be a scientist research it.

sometime i am confused when i get connected to internet

Seriously, I am really confused, because I don't know what I am searching for. To be honest, I am visual enthusiast, thus I don't really like reading news. I prefer watching to reading stuff.

I also don't really love playing online game. I am a blogger if I may say, but I am not really serious maintaining blogs, though I have some. I don't know what to write but about myself. I have less expertise eventually, so I tend to republish people's work, and of course I respect it by crediting its source.

Huh, .......

A piece of story of today

Eventually, I planned to spend the rest of the day being connected to internet in Cafe Teras, Watampone, but I decided to go to Tanjung Pallette with my mother to get some fresh. However, we did not spend more than 30 minutes there although the location is pretty far from our house. It is just little weird to being there seeing the sea without much fun. The problem is neither I and my mother don't know where people is crowded at. So, I decided to return home earlier.

Chain my motorcycle suddenly broken on the way, but fortunately it occurred in the town where I can find bycicle workshop at ease. I can't imagine, if the accident happened on the road where there is no workshop. Its repairment only took 20 minutes, nothing to worry overall.

At 5pm we already were at home, but then I went to the town again to have connected to internet in Cafe Teras. This must be tiring day...
