Negating Sentences is an essential aspect of language learning. It allows you to converse using negation, or the opposite of what is being said. In Cebuano, negation is expressed using the word 'dili'. In this lesson, you will learn how to negate sentences in Cebuano and practice negating simple sentences.  
=== Structure of the Lesson ===
 
1. An introduction to negation in Cebuano.
 
2. Detailed explanation of using '''dili'''.
 
3. Examples of negating sentences.
 
4. Practical exercises to reinforce learning.
 
Let’s get started!
 
=== Understanding Negation ===
 
In Cebuano, the word '''dili''' is the primary way to negate verbs, adjectives, and some nouns. It’s versatile and can be used in various contexts. Just like in English, where you say “I am not happy,” in Cebuano, you would say '''Dili ko malipay'''.
 
Negation is essential in everyday conversations. It allows you to express your thoughts clearly and helps avoid misunderstandings.
 
=== Using "Dili" to Negate Sentences ===
 
'''Dili''' is used to negate sentences in many forms. Below are the basic structures:
 
* '''Dili + Verb''': Used to negate an action.
 
* '''Dili + Adjective''': Used to negate a quality or state.
 
* '''Dili + Noun''': Used to negate identity or existence.
 
Let’s take a closer look at each structure.
 
==== Negating Verbs ====
 
When negating verbs, '''dili''' is placed before the verb.
 
For example:
 
* '''Dili ko mokaon.''' (I do not eat.)
 
* '''Dili siya mutan-aw sa sine.''' (He does not watch the movie.)
 
==== Negating Adjectives ====
 
To negate adjectives, again, you place '''dili''' before the adjective.
 
For example:
 
* '''Dili siya maayo.''' (He/She is not good.)
 
* '''Dili kini makalipay.''' (This is not enjoyable.)
 
==== Negating Nouns ====
 
When negating nouns, the structure remains consistent.
 
For example:


== Negating Sentences using 'Dili' ==
* '''Dili ako estudyante.''' (I am not a student.)


In Cebuano, the word 'dili' is used to express negation. It is used before a verb to indicate that the action did not happen, and after the verb to indicate that the action happened, but the result was not as expected.  
* '''Dili siya ang akong amigo.''' (He is not my friend.)


Here are some examples:
=== Examples of Negating Sentences ===

In Cebuano, the word dili is the primary way to negate verbs, adjectives, and some nouns. It’s versatile and can be used in various contexts. Just like in English, where you say “I am not happy,” in Cebuano, you would say Dili ko malipay.

Negation is essential in everyday conversations. It allows you to express your thoughts clearly and helps avoid misunderstandings.

Dili is used to negate sentences in many forms. Below are the basic structures:

  • Dili + Noun: Used to negate identity or existence.

Let’s take a closer look at each structure.

When negating verbs, dili is placed before the verb.

For example:
