Introduction

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Cultural Insight

+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:
-== Negating the Verb ==
-To negate the verb in Kirghiz, the word «эмес» (emes) is used. This word is equivalent to the English word "not". Here are some examples:

 |-
-| Мен сабакка кирип жокпуз || Men sabakka kirip jokpuz || I did not attend the lesson
+| Менин атым Салымбек. || Menin atym Salymbek. || My name is Salymbek.
-|-
-| Сени көргөнүмдүн жакшы көрөт эмесмин || Seni kөrgөnөmdün jashy kөrөt emesmin || I am not feeling well since I last saw you
 |-
-| Бул арзан эмес || Bul arzan emes || This is not cheap
+| Менин атым эмес. || Menin atym emes. || My name is not Salymbek.
 |}
-In Kirghiz, the word «емес» (emes) comes after the verb it negates. Therefore, it is easy to spot negation in a sentence in Kirghiz.

-|}
-In the first example, the use of «жок» (jok) after the noun «булбардак» (bulbardak) negates its existence. Similarly, in the second example, the use of «жок» (jok) negates the pronoun «Айша» (Aisha) as the speaker's name.

+- They are not coming to the party.
+- I don't speak Kirghiz.
+- She doesn't like coffee.
-{| class="wikitable"
