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

-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!
+==== The Structure of Negative Sentences ====
-== Negation in Kirghiz ==
+A negative sentence in Kirghiz typically follows this structure:
-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:
+* '''Subject + Negative Particle + Verb (or Noun)'''
+* For example: "Мен барбайм" (Men barbaim) translates to "I do not go."
+Here are some examples to illustrate:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! 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
 |-
-| Менин атым Салымбек. || Menin atym Salymbek. || My name is Salymbek.
+| Биз жебейбиз || Biz zhebeibiz || We do not eat
 |-
-| Менин атым эмес. || Menin atym emes. || My name is not Salymbek.
+| Алар сүйлөшпөйт || Alar suylooshpoyt || They do not talk
 |}
-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.
+=== Using "емес" for Negation ===
-== Forming Negative Statements ==
+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.
-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:
+For instance:
-=== Example 1 ===
+* The sentence "Бул китеп эмес" translates to "This is not a book."

+Here are more examples:
-English (negative): I am not a student.
-=== Example 2 ===
+{| class="wikitable"
-Kirghiz: Сенин атың ким? (Senin atyng kim?)
-English: What is your name?
-Kirghiz (negative): Сенин атың эмес. (Senin atyng emes.)
+! Kirghiz !! Pronunciation !! English
-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.)
+| Бул менин үйүм эмес || Bul menin uyum emes || This is not my house
-English (negative): We are not moving.
