UN-uhn
Prefix UN-
UN- means 'not' or 'the opposite of'. 'Unhappy' means 'not happy'.
How this rule works
The prefix un- is added to the beginning of a word to mean 'not' or to reverse an action. 'Happy' → 'unhappy' (not happy). 'Do' → 'undo' (reverse doing).
Remember: UN makes it undone — unhappy, unfair, unlike!
