Thanks Gérard for this antonyms list using dis prefix which gives to the words an opposite meaning.

"DIS-" is one of the examples of prefixes designed for antonyms.
There're other prefixes used; as in French it's various, a 1st problem being that it's kinda random (it has to be learned by heart/repeating), a 2nd problem being that we can have different prefixes for the same root
to dislike, unlikely hehe
Other prefixes used:
-> ENGLISH – ANTONYMS LIST USING ‘DIS’, ‘IL’, ‘IM’, ‘IN’, ‘IR’ AND ‘UN’ PREFIX
Again, my advice:
Don't learn long lists by heart - it's bloody boring and can lead to hating English; instead read the lists 2 or 3 times trying to remember the "music" and behave like a native baby, when needing they ask themselves: "hm, what did I hear, what did I read in my youth? mishonest? dishonest? unhonest?"

~~ edit
Not exactly antonyms, but I'd also add the prefix "-MIS": misunderstand, misadvice, misalliance, misbehave... the new words rather mean poorly understand, poor advice, etc.
~~~~ edit
Please note it's nor simpler in French!

Hi Muriel,
"To get off" has got several meanings of which to avoid punishment (French s'en tirer)... Be careful as there're several meanings, refer to the context.MurielB a écrit:Thanks Gérard, iI didn't know the expression "To get off lightly"
