How does adding -less to a word change its meaning compared to adding -ful?

• -less means “self,” while -ful means “distance"

• -less means “after,” while -ful means “before"

• -less means “without,” while -ful means “having"

• -less means “judge,” while -ful means “write"

Answer explanation

Adding -less to a word indicates the absence of something, meaning 'without', while adding -ful signifies possession or abundance, meaning 'having'. Thus, -less and -ful convey opposite meanings.
