(Lecture-12), What is Infix in English?

Infix is when you put something inside a word to change its meaning, like adding a special ingredient right in the middle of your favorite snack.

Imagine you have the word "happy." Now, if you add "-ly" at the end, it becomes "happily," which means you're doing happiness. But infix is different. Instead of putting something at the end, you put it in the middle, like adding a secret message inside your snack.

Let's say we have the word "break." If we add "-in" in the middle, it becomes "brekin" (which is not a real word, but that’s okay for now). It’s like taking your favorite sandwich and adding a little surprise inside, you still recognize it as a sandwich, but now it's different.

Infix is used in some languages to show things like tense or mood. For example, in English, we use infix sometimes too, not often, but you can see it when we say "go-ing" (like "going") or "sle-ep" (like "sleep"). It’s just a little extra part sneaking inside the word to change what it means.
