=== Introduction to Questions and Negations ===
 
In Javanese, just like in English, the ability to ask questions and form negations is paramount. Questions often start with specific words that signal the type of information you're seeking. Similarly, negations allow you to express the absence of something or to deny a statement.
 
'''Why Are Questions Important?'''
 
* They help you gather information.
 
* They show your interest in what others are saying.
 
* They promote engagement in conversations.
 
'''Why Are Negations Important?'''
 
* They clarify misunderstandings.
 
* They allow you to express disagreement or denial.


Welcome to the lesson on forming questions and negations in Javanese! In this lesson, we will explore the different ways to ask questions and negate sentences in the Javanese language. Understanding how to form questions and negations is crucial for effective communication in any language, and Javanese is no exception. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently ask questions and express negations in Javanese.
* They help in providing accurate information.


The structure of this lesson is as follows:
=== Forming Questions ===


1. Introduction
Questions in Javanese often begin with specific question words. Here are some of the most common question words:
2. Basic Sentence Structure Review
3. Forming Yes/No Questions
4. Forming Information Questions
5. Forming Negative Sentences
6. Cultural Insights
7. Practice Exercises
8. Conclusion


Let's dive into the fascinating world of Javanese sentence structure and explore the intricacies of forming questions and negations!
* '''Apa''' (What)


== Basic Sentence Structure Review ==
* '''Sapa''' (Who)


Before we delve into forming questions and negations, let's quickly review the basic sentence structure in Javanese. Javanese follows a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) pattern, similar to English. Here's a simple example sentence in Javanese:
* '''Ngendi''' (Where)
 
* '''Kapan''' (When)
 
* '''Pira''' (How many/How much)
 
* '''Kepiye''' (How)
 
Let’s take a closer look at how each of these questions can be formed. We will provide examples in a table format for clarity.


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English
! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Apa iki? || /ˈapa ˈiki/ || What is this?
|-
|-
| Aku  || [aˈku] || I
 
| Sapa jenengmu? || /ˈsapa dʒəˈneŋmu/ || What is your name?
 
|-
|-
| mangan  || [ˈmaŋɡan] || eat
 
| Ngendi sampeyan? || /ˈŋendi saˈmpaːŋ/ || Where are you?
 
|-
|-
| nasi  || [ˈnasi] || rice
 
| Kapan sampeyan teka? || /ˈkapan saˈmpaːŋ ˈteka/ || When will you arrive?
 
|-
 
| Pira regane? || /ˈpira ˈreɡaˌne/ || How much does it cost?
 
|-
 
| Kepiye kabarmu? || /kəˈpijə kaˈbar mu/ || How are you?
 
|}
|}


Translation: I eat rice.
When you form questions, the sentence structure typically remains the same as a statement, but the intonation changes, especially at the end of the sentence to indicate a question.


In this sentence, "Aku" (I) is the subject, "mangan" (eat) is the verb, and "nasi" (rice) is the object. Understanding this basic sentence structure will help us in forming questions and negations.
=== Forming Negations ===


== Forming Yes/No Questions ==
Negations in Javanese are formed using specific particles. The most common negation particle is '''"ora"''' which means "no" or "not." It is important to place "ora" correctly within the sentence to communicate negation effectively.


In Javanese, yes/no questions are formed by simply adding the word "ora" at the beginning of the sentence. Let's look at an example:
Let’s look at how to use "ora" in sentences:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English
! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ora  || [ˈora] || Do
 
| Aku ora ngerti. || /ˈaku ˈora ˈnɡərti/ || I do not understand.
 
|-
 
| Dheweke ora ana. || /dʒəˈwɛkɛ ˈora ˈana/ || He/She is not here.
 
|-
|-
| aku  || [aˈku] || I
 
| Ora ana dhuwit. || /ˈora ˈana ˈdʊwɪt/ || There is no money.
 
|-
|-
| mangan  || [ˈmaŋɡan] || eat
 
| Aku ora pengin. || /ˈaku ˈora ˈpɛŋɪn/ || I do not want (it).
 
|-
|-
| nasi  || [ˈnasi] || rice
 
| Dheweke ora bisa. || /dʒəˈwɛkɛ ˈora ˈbisa/ || He/She cannot.
 
|-
 
| Ora paham. || /ˈora ˈpaham/ || I do not understand.
 
|}
|}


Translation: Do I eat rice?
Negations can also be combined with question structures to ask if something is not the case. For instance, "Apa ora?" means "Is it not?" which can be used to check assumptions.
 
=== Examples and Practice ===
 
Now that we have a solid understanding of how to form questions and negations, let's look at more examples to solidify our learning.
 
'''Question Formation Examples:'''
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English


As you can see, by adding "ora" at the beginning of the sentence, we can transform a statement into a yes/no question. It's that simple!
|-


Let's practice forming more yes/no questions in Javanese:
| Apa sampeyan sekolah? || /ˈapa saˈmpaːŋ səˈkɔlah/ || Are you a student?


* A: Apa aku mangan nasi? (Do I eat rice?)
|-
* B: Ora, aku mangan tempe. (No, I eat tempe.)


* A: Apa kamu bisa bahasa Jawa? (Do you speak Javanese?)
| Sapa kanca sampeyan? || /ˈsapa ˈkantʃa saˈmpaːŋ/ || Who is your friend?
* B: Ora, aku ora bisa. (No, I can't.)


* A: Apa dia tinggal di Jogja? (Does he/she live in Jogja?)
|-
* B: Ora, dia tinggal di Surabaya. (No, he/she lives in Surabaya.)


== Forming Information Questions ==
| Ngendi pasar? || /ˈŋendi ˈpasar/ || Where is the market?


In addition to yes/no questions, Javanese also uses question words to form information questions. These question words are placed at the beginning of the sentence. Let's take a look at some examples:
|-


* "Sapa" (Who): Sapa jenengmu? (What is your name?)
| Kapan sampeyan bali? || /ˈkapan saˈmpaːŋ ˈbali/ || When will you return?
* "Nopo" (Why): Nopo kamu bali? (Why are you crying?)
* "Kapan" (When): Kapan kita ketemu? (When will we meet?)
* "Di maneh" (Where): Di maneh kamu tinggal? (Where do you live?)
* "Kene" (How): Kene carane nyedhak? (How do you cook?)


These are just a few examples of the many question words used in Javanese. By using these question words, you can gather specific information in your conversations.
|-


== Forming Negative Sentences ==
| Pira umurmu? || /ˈpira ˈumurmʊ/ || How old are you?


Negating sentences in Javanese is relatively straightforward. To form a negative sentence, we simply add the word "ora" before the verb. Let's see some examples:
|-


* Aku ora mangan nasi. (I don't eat rice.)
| Kepiye cara iki? || /kəˈpijə ˈtʃara ˈiki/ || How does this work?
* Kowe ora bisa ngomong Jawa. (You can't speak Javanese.)
* Iku ora apa-apa. (That is nothing.)
* Kita ora mangan sambel. (We don't eat chili sauce.)


As you can see, by adding "ora" before the verb, we can easily negate the sentence. It's important to note that the word "ora" can also be written as "ora" or "owah" in some dialects of Javanese.
|}


== Cultural Insights ==
'''Negation Examples:'''


In Javanese culture, the use of politeness levels is highly valued. When asking questions or expressing negations, it is important to use the appropriate level of politeness based on the social context. Javanese has different levels of politeness, ranging from formal to informal. The choice of politeness level depends on factors such as age, social status, and familiarity.
{| class="wikitable"


For example, when asking a question to someone older or in a higher social position, it is customary to use a more formal and respectful tone. On the other hand, when speaking with friends or peers, a more informal tone can be used. It is essential to be mindful of these cultural nuances when communicating in Javanese.

Javanese → Grammar → 0 to A1 Course → Questions and Negations

Welcome to the Questions and Negations lesson of the Complete 0 to A1 Javanese Course! In this lesson, we will dive into two essential components of the Javanese language: how to ask questions and how to form negations. These skills are crucial for effective communication, enabling you to gather information and express your thoughts more clearly.

Understanding how to construct questions allows you to engage with others, while negations help you clarify what is not true or does not apply in a conversation. By mastering these aspects, you will be able to navigate everyday conversations with greater ease and confidence.

This lesson will be structured as follows:

  • Introduction to Questions and Negations
  • Forming Questions: Question Words and Structures
  • Forming Negations: Negation Particles
  • Examples and Practice: Illustrative Tables
  • Exercises: Hands-on Practice with Solutions

Introduction to Questions and Negations[edit | edit source]

In Javanese, just like in English, the ability to ask questions and form negations is paramount. Questions often start with specific words that signal the type of information you're seeking. Similarly, negations allow you to express the absence of something or to deny a statement.

Why Are Questions Important?

  • They help you gather information.
  • They show your interest in what others are saying.
  • They promote engagement in conversations.

Why Are Negations Important?

  • They clarify misunderstandings.
  • They allow you to express disagreement or denial.
  • They help in providing accurate information.

Forming Questions[edit | edit source]

Questions in Javanese often begin with specific question words. Here are some of the most common question words:

  • Apa (What)
  • Sapa (Who)
  • Ngendi (Where)
  • Kapan (When)
  • Pira (How many/How much)
  • Kepiye (How)

Let’s take a closer look at how each of these questions can be formed. We will provide examples in a table format for clarity.

Javanese Pronunciation English
Apa iki? /ˈapa ˈiki/ What is this?
Sapa jenengmu? /ˈsapa dʒəˈneŋmu/ What is your name?
Ngendi sampeyan? /ˈŋendi saˈmpaːŋ/ Where are you?
Kapan sampeyan teka? /ˈkapan saˈmpaːŋ ˈteka/ When will you arrive?
Pira regane? /ˈpira ˈreɡaˌne/ How much does it cost?
Kepiye kabarmu? /kəˈpijə kaˈbar mu/ How are you?

When you form questions, the sentence structure typically remains the same as a statement, but the intonation changes, especially at the end of the sentence to indicate a question.

Forming Negations[edit | edit source]

Negations in Javanese are formed using specific particles. The most common negation particle is "ora" which means "no" or "not." It is important to place "ora" correctly within the sentence to communicate negation effectively.

Let’s look at how to use "ora" in sentences:

Javanese Pronunciation English
Aku ora ngerti. /ˈaku ˈora ˈnɡərti/ I do not understand.
Dheweke ora ana. /dʒəˈwɛkɛ ˈora ˈana/ He/She is not here.
Ora ana dhuwit. /ˈora ˈana ˈdʊwɪt/ There is no money.
Aku ora pengin. /ˈaku ˈora ˈpɛŋɪn/ I do not want (it).
Dheweke ora bisa. /dʒəˈwɛkɛ ˈora ˈbisa/ He/She cannot.
Ora paham. /ˈora ˈpaham/ I do not understand.

Negations can also be combined with question structures to ask if something is not the case. For instance, "Apa ora?" means "Is it not?" which can be used to check assumptions.

Examples and Practice[edit | edit source]

Now that we have a solid understanding of how to form questions and negations, let's look at more examples to solidify our learning.

Question Formation Examples:

Javanese Pronunciation English
Apa sampeyan sekolah? /ˈapa saˈmpaːŋ səˈkɔlah/ Are you a student?
Sapa kanca sampeyan? /ˈsapa ˈkantʃa saˈmpaːŋ/ Who is your friend?
Ngendi pasar? /ˈŋendi ˈpasar/ Where is the market?
Kapan sampeyan bali? /ˈkapan saˈmpaːŋ ˈbali/ When will you return?
Pira umurmu? /ˈpira ˈumurmʊ/ How old are you?
Kepiye cara iki? /kəˈpijə ˈtʃara ˈiki/ How does this work?

Negation Examples:

Javanese Pronunciation English
Aku ora duwe. /ˈaku ˈora ˈduwe/ I do not have (it).
Dheweke ora ngerti. /dʒəˈwɛkɛ ˈora ˈnɡərti/ He/She does not understand.
Ora kerja. /ˈora ˈkərdʒa/ (I) do not work.
Ora perlu kuwatir. /ˈora ˈpərlu ˈkuwatir/ No need to worry.
Aku ora kangen. /ˈaku ˈora ˈkaŋən/ I do not miss (it).
Dheweke ora seneng. /dʒəˈwɛkɛ ˈora ˈsəneŋ/ He/She is not happy.
