why is famous the only word that if u add "in" at the start it becomes amplified instead of opposed???

asking the real questions

nah i need to know this s***

Well technically it becomes a pejorative term akin to notorious so I guess that’s maybe opposite something neutral or good, but I am not a linguist

Hit the googles my brotha

nah this seems very incorrect

u think i haven't? im desperate atp

infamous should mean unknown or something like that

thefreedictionary.com/words-that-start-with-in

Have at it idkkk

That’s u thinking in 2021 but language doesn’t evolve like that. So sometimes prefix function in the etymology of a word is different than what u would expect from the current iteration of a language and its rules

give me another example then

does incredible means not credible 🤔

Lmao this your journey bro I can’t believe you came to ktt2 tho for this answer hit a linguistic forum frfr they will have the energy and knowledge bank on tap

English a lame language fr

we have doctors in here boy
and i ain't talking bout dr longstroke real doctors

Yeah, credible means believable, incredible would be something so amazing you couldn't believe it

I think flammable and inflammable are the same weirdly

nah u funny
