Negation is an important part of any language. It allows us to express our thoughts and feelings more accurately. In Northern Kurdish, there are several ways to express negation.  
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/northern-kurdish Northern Kurdish] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will explore the topic of negation in Northern Kurdish. Understanding negation is crucial for effective communication in any language. We will cover different ways of negating sentences, including the use of negative words, the negation of verbs, and the use of the word "no".  
 
__TOC__


==Negative Particles==
== Negating Sentences with Negative Words ==
The most common way to express negation in Northern Kurdish is with negative particles. These particles are used to negate a verb or an adjective.


===Negative Particles for Verbs===
In Northern Kurdish, you can create a negative sentence by using negative words such as "ne" and "naxwe". These words are used before the verb to negate the sentence. Here are some examples:
The most common negative particle for verbs is ''na''. This particle is used to negate a verb in the present tense. For example:  


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Northern Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Northern Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Ez nezanin. || [ez ne-zanin] || I don't know.
|-
| ez na dînam || ez na di-ne-nam || I don't go
|-
| tu na dînis || tu na di-ni-nis || You don't go
|-
| ew na dîne || ew na di-ne || He/She/It doesn't go
|-
| em na dînin || em na di-nin || We don't go
|-
|-
| hûn na dînin || hûn na di-nin || You (plural) don't go
| Tu naxwest. || [tu na-xwest] || You don't want.
|-
|-
| ew na dînin || ew na di-nin || They don't go
| Gelêrî nezanin. || [gelêrî ne-zanin] || They don't know.
|}
|}


===Negative Particles for Adjectives===
In the first example, "nezanin" means "don't know". Adding "ne" before it creates a negative sentence. Similarly, "naxwest" means "don't want" and "nezanin" here indicates "don't know".
The most common negative particle for adjectives is ''ne''. This particle is used to negate an adjective. For example:  
 
== Negating Verbs ==
 
Another way to negate sentences in Northern Kurdish is by negating the verb itself. You can do this by adding "ne" before the verb. This is also known as the negative conjugation of verbs. Here are some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Northern Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Northern Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Min hezkirina wî nekir. || [min hez-ki-ri-na wî ne-kir] || I didn't like him.
|-
| ev xweş ne || ev xwe-sh ne || This isn't nice
|-
| tu xweş ne || tu xwe-sh ne || You aren't nice
|-
| ew xweş ne || ew xwe-sh ne || He/She/It isn't nice
|-
| em xweş ne || em xwe-sh ne || We aren't nice
|-
|-
| hûn xweş ne || hûn xwe-sh ne || You (plural) aren't nice
| Tu hezkirinana nakin. || [tu hez-ki-ri-na-na na-kin] || You don't like them.
|-
|-
| ew xweş ne || ew xwe-sh ne || They aren't nice
| Wî yekser çalakiyan nagirt. || [wî ye-ks-er cha-la-kî-yan na-girt] || He didn't do any work.
|}
|}


==Negative Sentences==
In the first example, we added "ne" before the verb "kir" to negate it, creating a negative sentence. Similarly, "nakin" means "don't like it" and "nagirt" here indicates "didn't do".
Negative sentences are sentences that express a negative idea. In Northern Kurdish, negative sentences are formed by using the negative particle ''na'' before the verb. For example:  
 
== Using "No" in Northern Kurdish ==
 
In Northern Kurdish, you can negate a sentence by simply using the word "no". This is similar to English. Here are some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Northern Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Northern Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Tu tünayî no. || [tu tû-na-yî no] || You're not right.
|-
| ez na dînam || ez na di-ne-nam || I don't go
|-
| tu na dînis || tu na di-ni-sis || You don't go
|-
| ew na dîne || ew na di-ne || He/She/It doesn't go
|-
| em na dînin || em na di-nin || We don't go
|-
|-
| hûn na dînin || hûn na di-nin || You (plural) don't go
| No, min wekî te naxwazin. || [no, min wekî te na-xwe-zin] || No, I don't want to be like you.
|-
|-
| ew na dînin || ew na di-nin || They don't go
| Wî qut nayê. || [wî qut na-yê] || He's not coming.
|}
|}


==Conclusion==
In the first example, "no" is added at the end of the sentence to negate it. Similarly, "naxwazin" means "don't want" and "nayê" here indicates "not coming".
In this lesson, we have looked at the different ways to express negation in Northern Kurdish. We have seen how to use negative particles to negate verbs and adjectives, and how to form negative sentences.
 
== Dialogue ==
 
* Person 1: Tu carinan bala xwe diçîne rûyê min. (Sometimes you look at me.)
* Person 2: Na. Ez hemî carinan bala xwe negirêjim. (No. I don't always look at you.)

Northern Kurdish Grammar - Negation

Hi Northern Kurdish learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will explore the topic of negation in Northern Kurdish. Understanding negation is crucial for effective communication in any language. We will cover different ways of negating sentences, including the use of negative words, the negation of verbs, and the use of the word "no".

Negating Sentences with Negative Words

In Northern Kurdish, you can create a negative sentence by using negative words such as "ne" and "naxwe". These words are used before the verb to negate the sentence. Here are some examples:

Northern Kurdish Pronunciation English
Ez nezanin. [ez ne-zanin] I don't know.
Tu naxwest. [tu na-xwest] You don't want.
Gelêrî nezanin. [gelêrî ne-zanin] They don't know.

In the first example, "nezanin" means "don't know". Adding "ne" before it creates a negative sentence. Similarly, "naxwest" means "don't want" and "nezanin" here indicates "don't know".

Negating Verbs

Another way to negate sentences in Northern Kurdish is by negating the verb itself. You can do this by adding "ne" before the verb. This is also known as the negative conjugation of verbs. Here are some examples:

Northern Kurdish Pronunciation English
Min hezkirina wî nekir. [min hez-ki-ri-na wî ne-kir] I didn't like him.
Tu hezkirinana nakin. [tu hez-ki-ri-na-na na-kin] You don't like them.
Wî yekser çalakiyan nagirt. [wî ye-ks-er cha-la-kî-yan na-girt] He didn't do any work.

In the first example, we added "ne" before the verb "kir" to negate it, creating a negative sentence. Similarly, "nakin" means "don't like it" and "nagirt" here indicates "didn't do".

Using "No" in Northern Kurdish

In Northern Kurdish, you can negate a sentence by simply using the word "no". This is similar to English. Here are some examples:

Northern Kurdish Pronunciation English
Tu tünayî no. [tu tû-na-yî no] You're not right.
No, min wekî te naxwazin. [no, min wekî te na-xwe-zin] No, I don't want to be like you.
Wî qut nayê. [wî qut na-yê] He's not coming.

In the first example, "no" is added at the end of the sentence to negate it. Similarly, "naxwazin" means "don't want" and "nayê" here indicates "not coming".

Dialogue

  • Person 1: Tu carinan bala xwe diçîne rûyê min. (Sometimes you look at me.)
  • Person 2: Na. Ez hemî carinan bala xwe negirêjim. (No. I don't always look at you.)
  • Person 1: Min pirtirîn kesekî jê re nezane. (I don't know anyone better than him.)
  • Person 2: Wusa ye. (It's like that.)
  • Person 1: Tu pirrî rindî nezani. (You don't know much about music.)
  • Person 2: Ne, ez pirrî rindî dizanim. (No, I know a lot about music.)
