Introduction to Negation[edit | edit source]

Negation is a fundamental aspect of any language, including North Azerbaijani. In everyday conversations, you will often need to negate statements or commands. By mastering negation, you will gain greater control over your communication.

In North Azerbaijani, negation is typically formed using the word "deyil" (not) or "yox" (no). The position and form can vary depending on whether you're dealing with a simple sentence, a question, or a command.

Forming Negative Sentences[edit | edit source]

To create a negative sentence in North Azerbaijani, you generally add "deyil" after the verb. Here are some examples to illustrate this:

North Azerbaijani	Pronunciation	English
Mən gedirəm.	mæn ɡedɪˈrɛm	I am going.
Mən gedmirəm.	mæn ɡedˈmiːrɛm	I am not going.
O kitabı oxuyur.	o kɪˈtɑːbɪ ɔxˈjuːr	He is reading the book.
O kitabı oxumur.	o kɪˈtɑːbɪ ɔxˈmuːr	He is not reading the book.
Biz evdəyik.	bɪz ɛvˈdæjɪk	We are at home.
Biz evdə deyilik.	bɪz ɛvˈdæ dɛˈjɪlɪk	We are not at home.
Onlar işə gedirlər.	onˈlɑr ɪˈʃæ ɡeˈdɪrlæ	They are going to work.
Onlar işə gedmirlər.	onˈlɑr ɪˈʃæ ɡedˈmɪrlæ	They are not going to work.

As you can see from the examples, the structure is straightforward. Just remember to place "deyil" after the verb to indicate negation.

Negative Imperatives[edit | edit source]

When giving commands or instructions, you may also need to express negation. In North Azerbaijani, to form a negative imperative, you typically use "yox" or "etmə" (do not). Here are examples:

North Azerbaijani	Pronunciation	English
Get!	ɡɛt	Go!
Getmə!	ɡɛtˈmæ	Don’t go!
Oxu!	ɔxu	Read!
Oxuma!	ɔxuˈmɑ	Don’t read!
Gül!	ɡyl	Laugh!
Gülmə!	ɡylˈmɛ	Don’t laugh!
Düşün!	dyʃyn	Think!
Düşünmə!	dyʃynˈmɛ	Don’t think!

Use these forms when you want to instruct someone not to do something.

Negative Questions[edit | edit source]

Negative questions are a great way to confirm information or seek clarification. In North Azerbaijani, you can form a negative question by following the same structure as negative sentences but turning the statement into a question format. Here are some examples:

North Azerbaijani	Pronunciation	English
Sən gəlirsən?	sɛn ɡɛˈlɪrˈsɛn	Are you coming?
Sən gəlmirsən?	sɛn ɡɛlˈmɪrˈsɛn	Are you not coming?
O evdədir?	o ɛvˈdædɪr	Is he at home?
O evdə deyil?	o ɛvˈdæ dɛˈjɪl	Is he not at home?
Siz oxuyursunuz?	sɪz ɔxuˈjʊrˈsʊnʊz	Are you reading?
Siz oxumur musunuz?	sɪz ɔxuˈmur muˈsʊnʊz	Are you not reading?
Onlar gəlir?	onˈlɑr ɡɛˈlɪr	Are they coming?
Onlar gəlmir?	onˈlɑr ɡɛlˈmɪr	Are they not coming?

These negative questions can be very useful in conversations, allowing you to clarify or confirm details effectively.

+| Gülmə! || ɡylˈmɛ || Don’t laugh!
-=== Negation in Simple Sentences ===
+|-

 |-
-| Ay tütün çəkmir || /aj tyˈtyŋ ˈtʃækmir/ || The moon is not smoking

-Compound sentences in North Azerbaijani are formed by joining two or more simple sentences with coordinating conjunctions such as "və" (and), "amma" (but), "lakin" (however), and "fakat" (yet). Negation can be added to these sentences by placing "deyil" after each verb:

-Here, "almamışdı" is the final verb in the sentence, so "deyil" is placed after it to express negation.
+| Siz oxuyursunuz? || sɪz ɔxuˈjʊrˈsʊnʊz || Are you reading?
-== Cultural Information ==
+|-
-In North Azerbaijani culture, it is considered polite to use negation instead of "yox" in some situations. For example, instead of saying "I do not know," it is considered more polite to say "I do not know for sure," using negation to soften the statement.
+| Siz oxumur musunuz? || sɪz ɔxuˈmur muˈsʊnʊz || Are you not reading?
-Additionally, North Azerbaijani has a rich tradition of poetry, and negation is often used in poetry to convey a sense of longing, loss, or sadness. For example, the following poem by the famous North Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi uses negation to express a sense of sadness:
+|-
+| Onlar gəlir? || onˈlɑr ɡɛˈlɪr || Are they coming?

"
+| Onlar gəlmir? || onˈlɑr ɡɛlˈmɪr || Are they not coming?
