The prefix matters. - reverses a quality into its opposite, while - simply denies it, and possibility has no meaningful opposite - either a thing can happen or it cannot. So is the form you want, and it is written solid as one word. The adverb e and the noun o follow the same pattern. Do not confuse it with : a difficult task is one you can still finish, a one is not on the table at all. English blurs this when it calls a tiresome person "impossible", and so, cheerfully, does Esperanto.
