Marathi Grammar - Negation

Hi Marathi learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about negation in Marathi. Negation is the process of making a statement negative. It is an important part of Marathi grammar and can be used to express a variety of meanings.

Negation is formed by adding the suffix नको (nako) to the verb. This suffix changes the meaning of the verb from affirmative to negative. For example, the verb खाऊ (khāū) means "to eat", while खाऊनको (khāūnako) means "not to eat".

The following table shows some examples of negation in Marathi:

Marathi	Pronunciation	English Translation
जाऊ	jāū	to go
जाऊनको	jāūnako	not to go
काढू	kāḍhū	to do
काढूनको	kāḍhūnako	not to do
पाहू	pāhū	to see
पाहूनको	pāhūnako	not to see
