WORD FORMATION THROUGH ANNEXATION

GRAĐENJE REČI DODAVANJEM PREFIKSA I SUFIKSA
Jedan od vrlo produktivnih načina građenja reči u engleskom je DODAVANJE
PREFIKSA I SUFIKSA. Prefiksi se dodaju pre neke reči (kao što je IM- koji smo u
donjem primeru dodali na “perfect”), a sufiksi iza neke reči (kao što je –ION koji smo u
donjem primeru dodali na “perfect”). Dodavanjem prefiksa i sufiksa uvek dobijemo
NOVU REČ sa specifičnim značenjem vezanim za reč kojoj smo ih dodali. Tako
dodavanjem “im-“ na “perfect” (pridev sa značenjem “savršen”) dobijamo novi pridev
“nesavršen”. Dodavanjem sufiksa “-ion” na isti pridev “perfect” dobijamo IMENICU
“imperfection” sa značenjem “savršenstvo”. Dodavanjem i prefiksa “im-“ i sufiksa “-ion”
dobijamo novu reč: imenicu “imperfection” sa značenjem “nesavršenstvo”. Nadam se da
ste razumeli.
root
prefix  imperfection  suffix

Pogledajte koliko novih reči možemo dobiti od reči “polite” dodavanjem različitih
prefiksa i sufiksa. Da li znate šta znače ove nove reči? Ako ne znate, potražite njihovo

from the dialogues:

Unit 4
Pravljenje složenica - Compounding
Sledeći produktivni način građenja reči i bogaćenja vokabulara je
pravljenje složenica (compounding). Već na donjem primeru videćete
jasno o čemu se radi: kombinovanjem jedne reči (u ovom slučaju reči
“bus” sa drugim kompatibilnim rečima dobijamo više reči sa različitim,
ali srodnim značenjem:

bus driver
bus station bus stop
 bus

bus fare school bus

bus operator

Neke složenice se pišu zajedno, kao jedna reč: bathroom, toothpaste, haircut, bedroom, website,
doorbell (called closed or solid compound nouns)neke se pišu odvojeno: bottle opener, New Year’s
Day, Prime Minister (called open compounds), a neke sa crticom: check-in desk, fire-fighter, son-in-
law (called hyphenated compounds)

Sada pokušajte da se setite bar 5 složenica od reči “ball”:

1. football; 2. _______________; 3. ________________; 4. ________________; 5. _________________

And now let’s switch to English completely:

Now think of at least 6 compounds with the word “room”:

1. living room; 2. ______________; 3. ______________; 4. _________________; 5. ______________; 6.

________________

Tipičan preimer su reči iz domena porodičnih odnosa. Probajte da napravite što više
složenica od reči “mother”, “father”, “son”, “daughter”, “sister”, “brother”, “parent”, “child”
Use: -in-law grand great grand twin step foster

Plural of compound nouns:

We form the plural of most compounds by adding a plural ending to the last part of the
compound:
We saw some large greenhouses with vegetables growing in them.
They’re building two new car parks in town.
Warning: The compounds mother-in-law, brother-in-law, etc. form their plurals on the first
noun: I’ve got one brother-in-law and two sisters-in-law. Not: two sister-in-laws

Exercises:
1. Find thirteen compound nouns in the following text dealing with traffic/travel
issues:
 Departure
When you come to the airport, you first go to the check-in desk where they weigh your luggage.
you are permitted 20 kilos, but if your begs weigh more, you may have to pay excess-baggage.
The airline representative checks your ticket and gives you a boarding card for the plane with
your seat number on it. Then you go through passport control where an official checks your
passport, and into the departure lounge. Here, you can also buy things in the duty-free, e.g.
perfume, alcohol and cigarettes. About half-an-hour before take-off, you are told to go to a gate
number, e.g. gate 14, where you wait before you get on the plane. When you board the plane,
you find your seat. If you have hand luggage, you can put it under seat or in the overhead locker
above your seat. The plane then taxis towards the runway, and when it has permission to take
off, it accelerates along the runway and takes off.

1. 2. 3. 4.
5. 6. 7. 8.
9. 10. 11. 12.
13.

Now find the Serbian equivalents for the above compounds:

Poletanje Pista
Kaseta za prtljag (u Čekaonica pred
avionu) poletanje
Prtljag preko Karta za ukrcavanje u
dozvoljene težine avion
Avio kompanija Aerodrom
Ručni prtljag Bescarinska zona
Pasoška kontrola Šalter za prijavu
Pola sata

Now, let’s refresh our memory of the so-called “road vocabulary”. Go through the
pictures to check the words you know and learn the ones you don’t know:

There are quite a few compounds among the above words. Let’s see if you can
match them with their Serbian equivalents:

Vatrogasna kola Pauk

Dvospratni autobus Konjska kola
Trkački automobil Teško vozilo
 Četvorotočkaši Kiper
Podzemna železnica Mešalica za beton
Viljuškar Tramvaj
Valjak Kamion hladnjača
Slepa ulica Kružni tok
Trotoar Pešački prelaz
Nadvožnjak Podvožnjak

Now explain the meaning of the following compound nouns:

double-decker
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
racing car
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
traffic lights
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
rush hour
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

daju neko posebno značenje. Npr. kad kažete: “He passed away” time ne mislite
daje neko prošao već da je UMRO (to pass away – umreti). Većina Engleza neće
koristiti glagol “to die”, već upravo frazal “to pass away.” Zato ih je korisno
naučiti. Dole je lista nekih veoma čestih frazala, koje bi trebalo naučiti, a onda ih
upisati na odgovarajuću prazninu, vodeći računa da rečenica ima smisla. Vodite
računa da glagol ne ostavite u infinitive, već da ga uklopite u rečenicu, odnosno
dag a stavite u odgovarajuće vreme. Npr. Ako želimo da u rečenicu “Yesterday I
__________ unusually early” ubacimo frazal “to wake up,” onda ćete ga staviti u Past
Simple zbog odrednice “yesterday,” pa bi rečenica trebalo da izgleda ovako:
“Yesterday I woke up unusually early.”

1. TO WAKE UP – probuditi se
2. TO BREAK DOWN – pokvariti se
3. TO SLOW DOWN - usporiti
4. TO FILL IN/OUT - ispuniti
5. TO DRESS UP – doterati se, lepo se obući
