Answer:

a, ex, dis, im, and un

a few examples:

affix dis:

des (expression of reversal) + corage (meaning 'courage') = discourage

discourage means to dishearten or loose confidence

affix im:

in (meaning 'not') + maculatus (meaning 'stained') = immaculate

immaculate means spotless or not dirty

affix un:

un (meaning 'not') + canny (meaning 'normal') = uncanny

uncanny means unsettling or abnormal

hope this helps:)
