What are examples of circumfix?

Answer 1

A circumfix is a type of affix that attaches to both the beginning and end of a word. Examples include the German verb "machen" (to make), which can become "gemacht" (made) with the circumfix "ge-...-t." Another example is the English word "enlighten," where "en-" is a prefix and "-en" serves as a suffix, although this is less common in English. In general, circumfixes are more prevalent in languages such as German and Indonesian.
