Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Infix shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Infix offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Infix at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Infix? Wrong! If the Infix is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Infix then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Infix? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Infix and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Infix wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Infix then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Infix site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Infix, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Infix, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
This article is about infixes in natural languages. For the mathematical notation, see Infix notation.
An
infix is an affix inserted inside an existing word.
Infixes in English
English has very few true infixes (as opposed to tmesis, see below), and those it does have are marginal. A few are heard in colloquial speech, and a couple more are found in technical terminology.
- The infix or is characteristic of Hip hop culture slang, for example h'izouse for house and shiznit for shit. Infixes also occur in some language games. The infix, whose distribution was documented by linguist Alan C. L. Yu, gives a word an irony pseudo-sophistication, as in sophistimacated, saxomaphone, and edumacation.
- IUPAC nomenclature includes the infixes , signifying complete hydrogenation (from piperidine), and (from ethyl), signifying the ethyl radical (chemistry) C2H5. Thus from the existing word picoline is derived pipecoline, and from lutidine is derived lupetidine; from phenidine and xanthoxylin are derived phenetidine and xanthoxyletin.
Infixes in other languages
While unusual in English, infixes are common in
Austronesian languages and Austroasiatic languages. For example, in
Tagalog language, a grammatical form similar to the
active voice is formed by adding the infix
near the beginning of a verb. Tagalog has borrowed the English word
graduate as a verb; to say "I graduated" a speaker uses the derived form
gr'um
aduate.Arabic language uses a common infix,
for Arabic grammar#Stem formation, usually a Reflexive voice of Form I. It is placed after the first
consonant of the
root; an Epenthesis
i- prefix is also added since words cannot begin with a consonant cluster. An example is اجتهد
ijtahada "he worked hard", from جهد
jahada "he strove". (The words "ijtihad" and "jihad" are nouns derived from these two verbs.)
In Seri language some verbs form the plural stem with infixation of
after the first vowel of the root; compare the singular stem
ic 'plant (verb)' with the plural stem
itóoc. Examples:
itíc 'did s/he plant it?' and
iti'tóo
c 'did they sow it?'.
Other processes called infixation
Tmesis is sometimes considered a type of infixation. It is found in English profanity, such as
in'fucking
credible and absobloody
lutely. However, it may be disqualified since the inserted element is a lexical word rather than a suffix. See the article expletive infixation.Note that sequences of
Prefix (linguistics)es or
suffix (linguistics)es do not result in infixes: An infix must be internal to a single morpheme. Thus the word
originally, formed by adding the suffix
-ly to
original, does not turn the suffix
-al into an infix. There is simply a sequence of two suffixes,
origin-al-ly. In order for
-al- to be considered an infix, it would have to be inserted in the non-existent word
*originly. The "infixes" in the tradition of Bantu languages linguistics are generally sequences of prefixes of this type, though there may be debate over specific cases.
The
Semitic languages have a form of ablaut (changing the vowels within words, as in English
sing, sang, sung, song) which is sometimes called infixation, as the vowels are placed within the consonants of the root, but there is often no identifiable infix common across the vocabulary.
Glossing infixes
When glossing, it is conventional to set off infixes with , rather than the hyphens used to set off prefixes and suffixes.
