Within our language, many words can be created by adding prefixes and suffixes to existing roots. This is very common and allows for a great variation in vocabulary. By adding a prefix, such as 'in-', we can change the meaning of a word, making it negative, as is the case with 'feliz' and 'infeliz'. With a suffix, such as '-ção', we transform verbs into nouns, like 'celebrar' into 'celebração'.
