Verb + negative may + suffix reflecting personal pronoun.

In Uzbek, negation can be made simply by adding "may" to the stem verb. But there are different other ways of negation as well.

For example "emas" and “yo’q” are the most common negatives.

For example: Men bu ishni qilmayman (I can't do this). Ularning qiladigan hech qanday ishlari yo’q (They don't have anything to do – Double Negative).

“hech qanday” is also a negation. Bu menga yoqmaydi (I don't like it) U hali kelgani yo’q. (He hasn’t come yet)
