- non- (Used to negate some words.)
Usage notes
[edit]- ne- as an affix is less common than mal-, and is sometimes synonymous with it, but it can be used to signify the negative or absence of the root when this is different from its opposite, or when the root does not have a meaningful opposite. For example, neamiko (“non-friend”) suggests a stranger or acquaintance, as opposed to malamiko (“enemy”). For another example, nevidebla (“invisible”) is more idiomatic than *malvidebla because the latter would suggest something that one can "unsee" (kiun oni povas *malvidi), rather than something that cannot be seen (kiu ne estas videbla).
