英語否定詞規則 語言學
we can form negtive versions of words such as audible and edible in English by
adding in-to produce inaudible and inedible. How would you describe the special
phonological processes involved in the pronunciation of the negtive versions of
the following words?
1.balance
2.compatible
3.complete
4.decent
5.glorious
6.gratitude
7.legal
8.literate
9.mature
10.perfect
11.possible
12.rational
13.responsible
14.sane
15.tolerate
16.variable
我知道英文單字變成否定時可能加上in-il-ir-im但是什麼時候加哪一個有規則嗎?
就是為什麼 sane加in之類的
到底是甚麼時候加哪個呢? 請大家替我解答 謝謝。

Alright, you must be a smart dude to ask this question. So, I'll put my answers and the elaborations in English.
"In-" as a prefix to English words is used in many cases. But when used with adjectives (sometimes nouns), it suggests a negative (or privative) force. Other variant forms of it are "il-", "im-", "ir-", and "un-"
Origin:
"un-" was said to be from German
"in-" was said from Latin
Rules for variants:
"il-" is used before L
"im-" is used before B, M, and P.
"ir-" is used before R.
"in-" is used on all other adjectives.
"un-" is used on words originated from verbs, such as "uninformed"
Others:
many other prefixes can also be used for privative force, such as de-, dis-, and di-.
Why don't you elaborate on their usages?

I thought that was the homework assignment I wanted you to do. And you just throw it back at me without even giving it a try?
Dude, am I the only one learning here?
