== Cultural Insights: Negation in Tajik Culture ==
1. Translate the following sentence into Tajik: "I do not play."


Negation plays an important role in Tajik culture, as it allows people to express their opinions, preferences, and disagreements. Tajik culture values politeness and indirectness, so negation is often expressed in a more subtle and nuanced way. It is common for Tajik speakers to use phrases like "maybe" or "I'm not sure" to convey negation without being too direct.
2. Create a negative sentence using the verb "to go" (равтан).


In Tajikistan, it is considered impolite to directly refuse an invitation or request. Instead, Tajik speakers often use phrases like "I'll think about it" or "let me check my schedule" to express negation politely. This cultural aspect is reflected in the Tajik language, where negation can be expressed in a more nuanced and indirect manner.
3. Negate the following sentence: "Вай доно аст" (He is wise).
