  • In this new Spanish learning video we will learn the use of the prefix ‘anti’.
    The prefix ‘anti-’ is used in Spanish to indicate opposition, opposition or contrary action towards something. It is used to form words that express the idea of being against, preventing, neutralising or counteracting something specific. For example:
    Antiacids: Substances that counteract stomach acidity.
    Antioxidant: Substance that prevents or reduces the effects of cellular ageing caused by free radicals.
    Anti-stress: Methods or substances that help to reduce or counteract stress.
    Anti-pollution: Measures or devices used to reduce environmental pollution.
    Anti-theft: Devices or systems designed to prevent or avoid theft of objects or vehicles.
    Anti-hero: A character in a story who lacks traditional heroic qualities and may act against established values.
    In short, the prefix ‘anti’ is used to indicate an action or state that goes against something specific, be it physical, chemical, social or conceptual.

    ‘I made a delicious antioxidant smoothie to recharge your energy, would you like some?’
    ‘I can't believe what happened at the meeting today. It was total chaos!’

    ‘Apparently it's a problem with the anti-pollution system.’
    ‘Someone stole our car!’
    ‘Have you heard that group of hackers who attack corrupt institutions?’
    ‘Yeah, they're real anti-heroes.’

    Me gustó mucho este video, y es tan automático, que no percibimos los prefijos, siempre indicando algo opuesto. Antiarrugas; antiestético, etc. ! Gracias por el video, muy práctico y de alta calidad !
