Authorities directly reporting to Government of R KAgency on Statistics; Agency on Regulation of Natural Monopolies; Agency on Information and Telecommunications; Agency on Land Resources Management Note: Read and memorize the following: 1. It is really useful to know how prefixes and suffixes form new words. Prefixes (un-, il-, ir-, dis-, mis-, im-) are often used togive verbs, nouns and adjectives a negative meaning. A prefix does not normally change word stress. But the stress may change if you want to emphasize the negative or opposite. Was he ha ppy about the change? No, he was un happy. Prefixes un-, dis- have two meanings: they can have a negative meaning, but they can also mean ‘the opposite of an action’ or ‘to reverse an action’. This meaning is used with certain verbs (lock – unlock; appear – disappear). See the meaning of the other prefixes: My homework was terrible, so I had to re do it. (re- = again) I think my boss is over doing it at the moment. He is working too much. (over- =too much) Two of the students mis read the first question. (mis- = badly or incorrectly) 2. Although it is mainly adjectives which are made negative by prefixes, un- and dis- can also form the opposites of verbs, reverse the action of the verb appear – disappear agree – disagree bend – unbend wrap - unwrap 3. A suffix is a word part that is added to the end of another word or word part. Learning common suffixes can increase your ability to recognize the meaning of unfamiliar words. Noun forming suffixes -ant, -eer, -er, -ist, -ian, -or mean “one who does something”: accountant, electioneer, stenographer, physician, typist, inventor. 4. A rootis a wordto which a suffix or prefix may be added. If you know the meaning of Greek or Latin roots, you will be able to determine the basic meaning of many new words.

As a testament of this firm resolve, there are women’s political clubs actively functioning in the region and republican schools of political leadership. Women’s development in economics is a priority direction in social modernization of the country. After all they make up 4.2 million out of 8.5 million of an economically active population.
