English is a very flexible language and you can build on your vocabulary and learn how to make new words.
One way of doing this is to add prefixes (such as dis, pre or co) before the word.
Here's a list of common prefixes with their meanings and some examples.
anti = against
antibodies, anti-social
auto = self
autonomous, autobiography, automobile
bi = two
bicycle
co = with
cooperate, coordinate
contra = against
contradict, contravene
de = remove
deregulate, deselect
dis = not
disappear
il = not
illegal
im = not
immaterial, immature
inter = between
international
mis= badly/wrongly
misinform, misbehave, misunderstand
multi = many
multinational
non = opposite
non-profit
out = more than
outperform, outdone
over = too much
oversleep, overwork
post = after
postpone, postnatal
pre = before
predict
re = again
rewrite, relive
sub = under
submarine
super = higher/improved
supermarket
trans = across
transatlantic
uni = one
uniform
under = not enough
underpaid, underfed
