Prefixes (voorzetsels) change the meaning of a word. We do the same in Dutch:
legaal > illegaal
gewild > ongewild
regelmatig > onregelmatig
alfabeet > analfabeet

Not really. You can only study prefixes by studying the words they belong to. Sometimes it is easy, because you already know a lot of them. Sometimes you have to look them up in a dictionary.
