== The Basics of Negation ==
 
In Tagalog, negation is expressed through the use of negative words and particles, as well as the use of the negative verb. The most common negative word in Tagalog is "hindi" which means "no" or "not."
 
Here are some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Hindi || (hin-dee) || No
|-
| hindi ako kumain || hin-dee ah-koh koo-mah-een || I did not eat
|-
| hindi siya naglaro || hin-dee see-yah nahg-lah-roh || He/She did not play
|-
| hindi sila nag-aral || hin-dee see-lah nahg-ah-rahl || They did not study
|-
| hindi ko alam || hin-dee koh ah-lahm || I do not know
|-
| hindi nila gusto || hin-dee nee-lah goos-toh || They do not like it
|}
|}


The particle ''hindi'' can also be used to make a sentence negative. For example:  
The negative particle "ayaw" is also frequently used in Tagalog. It means "do not" or "does not want to."
 
Examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Ayaw || (ah-yow) || Do not/Does not want to
|-
| hindi ako makakain || hin-dee ah-koh mah-kah-keen || I cannot eat
|-
| hindi siya makakalaro || hin-dee see-yah mah-kah-kah-lah-roh || He/She cannot play
|-
| hindi sila makakapag-aral || hin-dee see-lah mah-kah-kah-pahg-ah-rahl || They cannot study
|-
| hindi ko malaman || hin-dee koh mah-lah-mahn || I cannot know
|-
| hindi nila maibigay || hin-dee nee-lah mah-ee-bee-gahy || They cannot give it
|}
|}


It is also possible to make a sentence negative by using the particle ''walang''. For example:  
== Using the Negative Verb ==
 
In Tagalog, the negative verb is formed by adding the negative particle "di" or "hindi" before the root verb. This negates the meaning of the verb.
 
For example, the verb "kumain" means "to eat" in Tagalog. To create the negative form of the verb, you would add "di" or "hindi" before it, resulting in "hindi kumain" which means "did not eat."
 
Here are some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Hindi kumain || (hin-dee koo-main) || Did not eat
|-
|-
| walang pagkain || wah-lahng pahg-keen || There is no food
| Hindi sumasakay || (hin-dee soo-ma-za-kay) || Not riding/getting on
|-
| walang laro || wah-lahng lah-roh || There is no game
|-
| walang aral || wah-lahng ah-rahl || There is no lesson
|-
| walang alam || wah-lahng ah-lahm || There is no knowledge
|-
| walang gusto || wah-lahng goos-toh || There is no liking
|}
|}


It is also possible to make a sentence negative by using the particle ''wala''. For example:  
You can also use the negative particle "di" or "hindi" with "nag" to negate a completed verb.
 
For example, the verb "nagluto" means "cooked" in Tagalog. To create the negative form, you would add "di" or "hindi" before it, resulting in "hindi nagluto" which means "did not cook."
 
Here are some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Hindi nagluto || (hin-dee nag-loo-to) || Did not cook
|-
| wala akong pagkain || wah-lah ah-kohng pahg-keen || I have no food
|-
| wala siyang laro || wah-lah see-yahng lah-roh || He/She has no game
|-
| wala silang aral || wah-lah see-lahng ah-rahl || They have no lesson
|-
| wala akong alam || wah-lah ah-kohng ah-lahm || I have no knowledge
|-
|-
| wala nila gusto || wah-lah nee-lah goos-toh || They have no liking
| Hindi nag-aral || (hin-dee nag-a-ral) || Did not study/learned
|}
|}


It is also possible to make a sentence negative by using the particle ''di''. For example:
== Negation with Adverbs and Adjectives ==


{| class="wikitable"
In Tagalog, negation can also be expressed through the use of negative adverbs and adjectives. These words are used to negate the meaning of other words.
|-

|-
| di ako kumain || dee ah-koh koo-mah-een || I did not eat
|-
| di siya naglaro || dee see-yah nahg-lah-roh || He/She did not play
|-
| di sila nag-aral || dee see-lah nahg-ah-rahl || They did not study
|-
| di ko alam || dee koh ah-lahm || I do not know
|-
| di nila gusto || dee nee-lah goos-toh || They do not like it
|}


It is also possible to make a sentence negative by using the particle ''hindi'' and the particle ''di'' together. For example:  
Here are some common negative adverbs and adjectives in Tagalog:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Walang || (wa-lang) || None/Without

| Wala || (wa-la) || None/Without
|-
|-
| hindi di siya naglaro || hin-dee dee see-yah nahg-lah-roh || He/She did not play
| Hindi || (hin-dee) || No/Not
|-
| hindi di sila nag-aral || hin-dee dee see-lah nahg-ah-rahl || They did not study
|-
| hindi di ko alam || hin-dee dee koh ah-lahm || I do not know
|-
| hindi di nila gusto || hin-dee dee nee-lah goos-toh || They do not like it
|}
|}


It is also possible to make a sentence negative by using the particle ''hindi'' and the particle ''wala'' together. For example:  
For example, to say "There is no rice," you can use the adjective "walang" before the noun "bigas" which means "rice." This results in the phrase "walang bigas."
 
Examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-

| Walang bigas || (wa-lang bee-gas) || No rice
|-
|-
| hindi wala akong pagkain || hin-dee wah-lah ah-kohng pahg-keen || I have no food
| Hindi maganda || (hin-dee ma-gan-da) || Not beautiful
|-
| hindi wala siyang laro || hin-dee wah-lah see-yahng lah-roh || He/She has no game
|-
| hindi wala silang aral || hin-dee wah-lah see-lahng ah-rahl || They have no lesson
|-
| hindi wala akong alam || hin-dee wah-lah ah-kohng ah-lahm || I have no knowledge
|-
| hindi wala nila gusto || hin-dee wah-lah nee-lah goos-toh || They have no liking
|}
|}


It is also possible to make a sentence negative by using the particle ''di'' and the particle ''wala'' together. For example:
== Practice Dialogue ==
 
Person 1: Hindi ako kumain ng kanin. (I did not eat rice.)
Person 2: Ayaw mo ba ng kanin? (Don't you like rice?)
Person 1: Hindi, walang kanin sa bahay. (No, there is no rice at home.)

The Basics of Negation[edit | edit source]

In Tagalog, negation is expressed through the use of negative words and particles, as well as the use of the negative verb. The most common negative word in Tagalog is "hindi" which means "no" or "not."

The negative particle "ayaw" is also frequently used in Tagalog. It means "do not" or "does not want to."

Examples:

Tagalog Pronunciation English

Using the Negative Verb[edit | edit source]

In Tagalog, the negative verb is formed by adding the negative particle "di" or "hindi" before the root verb. This negates the meaning of the verb.

For example, the verb "kumain" means "to eat" in Tagalog. To create the negative form of the verb, you would add "di" or "hindi" before it, resulting in "hindi kumain" which means "did not eat."

Here are some examples:

Tagalog Pronunciation English

Hindi sumasakay (hin-dee soo-ma-za-kay) Not riding/getting on

You can also use the negative particle "di" or "hindi" with "nag" to negate a completed verb.

For example, the verb "nagluto" means "cooked" in Tagalog. To create the negative form, you would add "di" or "hindi" before it, resulting in "hindi nagluto" which means "did not cook."

Here are some examples:

Tagalog Pronunciation English

Hindi nag-aral (hin-dee nag-a-ral) Did not study/learned

Negation with Adverbs and Adjectives[edit | edit source]
