Introduction[edit | edit source]

Welcome to the lesson on negation in Kirghiz! In this lesson, we will explore how to negate sentences in Kirghiz using the negative particle and practice forming negative statements. Understanding negation is crucial for developing your language skills and expressing yourself accurately in Kirghiz. So let's dive in and learn how to negate sentences in Kirghiz!

Negation in Kirghiz[edit | edit source]

Negation in Kirghiz is achieved by using the negative particle "эмес" (emes). This particle is placed before the verb in the sentence to indicate negation. Let's see a few examples to understand how negation works in Kirghiz:

Kirghiz	Pronunciation	English
Менин атым Салымбек.	Menin atym Salymbek.	My name is Salymbek.
Менин атым эмес.	Menin atym emes.	My name is not Salymbek.

As you can see in the examples above, the negative particle "эмес" (emes) is placed before the verb "атым" (atym) to negate the statement. This simple change completely changes the meaning of the sentence.

Forming Negative Statements[edit | edit source]

Now that we understand how negation works in Kirghiz, let's practice forming negative statements. To form a negative statement, we simply add the negative particle "эмес" (emes) before the verb in the sentence. Let's look at some examples:

Example 1[edit | edit source]

Kirghiz: Мен окуучум. (Men okuuchum.) English: I am a student.

Kirghiz (negative): Мен окуучум эмес. (Men okuuchum emes.) English (negative): I am not a student.

Example 2[edit | edit source]

Kirghiz: Сенин атың ким? (Senin atyng kim?) English: What is your name?

Kirghiz (negative): Сенин атың эмес. (Senin atyng emes.) English (negative): Your name is not.

Example 3[edit | edit source]

Kirghiz: Биз көчөмүз. (Biz kochomuz.) English: We are moving.

Kirghiz (negative): Биз көчөмөз эмес. (Biz kochomoos emes.) English (negative): We are not moving.

By adding the negative particle "эмес" (emes) before the verb, we can easily form negative statements in Kirghiz. Practice forming negative statements using different verbs and subjects to improve your understanding and fluency in Kirghiz.
