Welcome to the lesson on Negation in Kirghiz! Understanding how to form negative sentences is crucial for effective communication. It helps you express what is not happening, what you don’t like, or what you don’t want. In Kirghiz, negation is achieved using a specific negative particle, which alters the meaning of verbs and statements.

In this lesson, we will explore how to create negative sentences, the placement of the negative particle, and some common phrases to help you practice. By the end of this lesson, you should feel confident in your ability to negate sentences in Kirghiz. Let’s dive in!

Understanding Negation in Kirghiz[edit | edit source]

In Kirghiz, the negative particle is "емес" (emes) or "жок" (zhok), depending on the context. "емес" is generally used to negate verbs in a more formal sense, while "жок" is used in everyday conversation, especially when negating nouns or indicating absence.

The Structure of Negative Sentences[edit | edit source]

A negative sentence in Kirghiz typically follows this structure:

Subject + Negative Particle + Verb (or Noun)

For example: "Мен барбайм" (Men barbaim) translates to "I do not go."

Here are some examples to illustrate:

Kirghiz	Pronunciation	English
Мен барбайм	Men barbaim	I do not go
Сен келбейсин	Sen kelbeisin	You do not come
Ал жок	Al zhok	He does not have
Биз жебейбиз	Biz zhebeibiz	We do not eat
Алар сүйлөшпөйт	Alar suylooshpoyt	They do not talk

Using "емес" for Negation[edit | edit source]

The particle "емес" is used to negate noun phrases, particularly when you want to assert the absence of something or clarify that something is not the case.

For instance:

The sentence "Бул китеп эмес" translates to "This is not a book."

Here are more examples:

Kirghiz	Pronunciation	English
Бул менин үйүм эмес	Bul menin uyum emes	This is not my house
Сенин жолуң эмес	Senin zholung emes	This is not your road
Ал акча эмес	Al akcha emes	That is not money
Бул тамак эмес	Bul tamak emes	This is not food
Анын аты эмес	Anyn aty emes	That is not his name

Using "жок" for Negation[edit | edit source]

The particle "жок" is often preferred in casual speech and is typically used to indicate the absence of a noun.

For example:

The sentence "Менде акча жок" translates to "I do not have money."

Here are some more examples:

Kirghiz	Pronunciation	English
Мында эч ким жок	Mynda ech kim zhok	There is no one here
Менде убакыт жок	Mende ubakyt zhok	I do not have time
Үйдө тамак жок	Uydö tamak zhok	There is no food at home
Китепте эч нерсе жок	Kitepte ech nerese zhok	There is nothing in the book
Сизде эч кандай маалымат жок	Sizde ech kanday ma'lumot zhok	You have no information

Combining "емес" and "жок"[edit | edit source]

Sometimes, both particles can be used in conjunction to express more complex negation, particularly when clarifying that something is both "not" and "absent."

For example:

"Бул менин эмес, акча жок" translates to "This is not mine, and there is no money."

Here are some examples:

Kirghiz	Pronunciation	English
Бул менин үйүм эмес, акча жок	Bul menin uyum emes, akcha zhok	This is not my house, there is no money
Сенин телефонун эмес, менде жок	Senin telefonun emes, mende zhok	This is not your phone, I do not have it
Ал китеп эмес, биздин жок	Al kitep emes, bizdin zhok	That is not a book, ours is absent
Бул көйгөй эмес, чечими жок	Bul koygoy emes, chechimi zhok	This is not a problem, there is no solution
Ушул жер эмес, менде жок	Ushul zher emes, mende zhok	This is not the place, I do not have it

+In this lesson, we will explore how to create negative sentences, the placement of the negative particle, and some common phrases to help you practice. By the end of this lesson, you should feel confident in your ability to negate sentences in Kirghiz. Let’s dive in!

+=== Understanding Negation in Kirghiz ===
+In Kirghiz, the negative particle is '''"емес"''' (emes) or '''"жок"''' (zhok), depending on the context. "емес" is generally used to negate verbs in a more formal sense, while "жок" is used in everyday conversation, especially when negating nouns or indicating absence.
+==== The Structure of Negative Sentences ====
+A negative sentence in Kirghiz typically follows this structure:
+* '''Subject + Negative Particle + Verb (or Noun)'''
+* For example: "Мен барбайм" (Men barbaim) translates to "I do not go."

+Here are some examples to illustrate:
-== 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:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Kirghiz !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| Мен барбайм || Men barbaim || I do not go
 |-
-| Мен сабакка кирип жокпуз || Men sabakka kirip jokpuz || I did not attend the lesson
+| Сен келбейсин || Sen kelbeisin || You do not come
 |-
-| Сени көргөнүмдүн жакшы көрөт эмесмин || Seni kөrgөnөmdün jashy kөrөt emesmin || I am not feeling well since I last saw you
+| Ал жок || Al zhok || He does not have
 |-
-| Бул арзан эмес || Bul arzan emes || This is not cheap
+| Биз жебейбиз || Biz zhebeibiz || We do not eat
+|-
+| Алар сүйлөшпөйт || Alar suylooshpoyt || They do not talk
 |}
-In Kirghiz, the word «емес» (emes) comes after the verb it negates. Therefore, it is easy to spot negation in a sentence in Kirghiz.
+=== Using "емес" for Negation ===
+The particle '''"емес"''' is used to negate noun phrases, particularly when you want to assert the absence of something or clarify that something is not the case.
+For instance:
+* The sentence "Бул китеп эмес" translates to "This is not a book."
-== Negating Other Parts of a Sentence ==
+Here are more examples:
-Negation can also be used to negate other parts of a sentence such as adjectives, nouns, and pronouns. In this case, the particle «жок» (jok) is used. Here are some examples:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Kirghiz !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| Бул менин үйүм эмес || Bul menin uyum emes || This is not my house
+|-
+| Сенин жолуң эмес || Senin zholung emes || This is not your road
+|-
+| Ал акча эмес || Al akcha emes || That is not money
 |-
-| Булбардак жок || Bulbardak jok || There are no glasses
+| Бул тамак эмес || Bul tamak emes || This is not food
 |-
-| Меним атуым Айжан. Айша жок || Menim atuum Aijan. Aisha jok || My name is Aijan. Aisha is not my name
+| Анын аты эмес || Anyn aty emes || That is not his name
 |}
-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.
+=== Using "жок" for Negation ===
+The particle '''"жок"''' is often preferred in casual speech and is typically used to indicate the absence of a noun.
+For example:
+* The sentence "Менде акча жок" translates to "I do not have money."
-== Double Negation ==
+Here are some more examples:
-In Kirghiz, it is possible to use double negation to emphasize the negative meaning of a sentence. In this case, the second negation is expressed by the word «жок» (jok). For example:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Kirghiz !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| Менин телефонум жок || Menin telefonum jok || I do not have a phone
+| Мында эч ким жок || Mynda ech kim zhok || There is no one here
 |-
-| Менин телефонум жок, кесиптиктерде дизенсижок || Menin telefonum jok, kesiptikterde dizensis jok || I do not have a phone, and I do not intend to get one.
+| Менде убакыт жок || Mende ubakyt zhok || I do not have time
+|-
+| Үйдө тамак жок || Uydö tamak zhok || There is no food at home
+|-
+| Китепте эч нерсе жок || Kitepte ech nerese zhok || There is nothing in the book
+|-
+| Сизде эч кандай маалымат жок || Sizde ech kanday ma'lumot zhok || You have no information
 |}
-In the second example, the double negation is expressed by using the word «дизенсижок» (dizensis jok) after the word «жок» (jok).
+=== Combining "емес" and "жок" ===
+Sometimes, both particles can be used in conjunction to express more complex negation, particularly when clarifying that something is both "not" and "absent."
+For example:
-== Tips ==
+* "Бул менин эмес, акча жок" translates to "This is not mine, and there is no money."
-- Kirghiz language has many negation words. Be sure to use them in the right context.
-- Practice, practice, practice! The more you use negation in your Kirghiz language, the better you will get at it.
-- For advanced learners, try to incorporate double negation in your Kirghiz sentences to emphasize the negative meaning.
-== Practice Dialogue ==
+Here are some examples:
-* Person 1: Муздатпаталак. (Muzdatpatalak.) - I am not a workaholic.
-* Person 2: Анда секелүүм? (Anda sekelyum?) - Don't you work hard?
-* Person 1: Жок, да кандай кылып жүрүңүз? (Jok, da kanday kylup jyruunguz?) - No, what makes you think that?
