It seems that it is not common to describe Chinese language as having prefixes and suffixes. However, there are some characters that can certainly give clues about the possible meaning of a word or phrase.
These are prefixes that are used to negate Chinese adjectives and some other parts of Chinese speech.
The meanings of these Chinese prefixes vary slightly, indeed.
不 is commonly used in all sorts of situations.
非 is formal. It is more likely to be ssen in formal notices and law-related texts.
Using of 无 is more typical for "written" Chinese than for colloquial language.
