Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/turkmen Turkmen] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will learn about negation in the Turkmen language. Negation is an important part of any language, and it is essential to understand how to use it correctly in order to communicate effectively. We will look at the different ways to express negation in Turkmen, as well as some examples of how to use them. __TOC__


Negation is a way of expressing the opposite of something. In Turkmen, there are several ways to express negation. The most common way is to use the word ''yok'' (pronounced "yohk"), which means "no" or "not". This word can be used to negate nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. For example:
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/turkmen Turkmen] learners! 😊


* ''Men yok'' (pronounced "men yohk") - I am not
In this lesson, we will focus on negation in Turkmen. You will learn how to negate verbs, adjectives, and nouns in Turkmen. You will also learn about the different structures used to form negations in Turkmen.
* ''Gaty yok'' (pronounced "gah-tee yohk") - It is not good
* ''Gatylyk yok'' (pronounced "gah-teel-yuhk") - It is not beautiful
* ''Gatylamak yok'' (pronounced "gah-teel-ah-mahk yohk") - It is not being done


Another way to express negation in Turkmen is to use the word ''däl'' (pronounced "dahl"), which means "not". This word can be used to negate verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. For example:
__TOC__


* ''Men däl'' (pronounced "men dahl") - I am not
== Negating Verbs ==
* ''Gaty däl'' (pronounced "gah-tee dahl") - It is not good
* ''Gatylyk däl'' (pronounced "gah-teel-yuhk dahl") - It is not beautiful
* ''Gatylamak däl'' (pronounced "gah-teel-ah-mahk dahl") - It is not being done


The word ''yok'' can also be used to form negative sentences. To do this, the word ''yok'' is placed before the verb. For example:
To negate verbs in Turkmen, we use the word "deň" or "diň" depending on the vowel harmony of the verb. We add this word after the verb to indicate negation. In addition, we use the suffix "-ma" or "-me" to indicate negation as well. The suffix "-ma" is used for words with front vowels (e, ä, i, ö, ü) while the suffix "-me" is used for words with back vowels (a, ı, o, u).  


* ''Men yok ýörmek'' (pronounced "men yohk yur-mek") - I am not running
Let's see some examples:
* ''Gaty yok ýazmak'' (pronounced "gah-tee yohk yahz-mahk") - It is not writing
* ''Gatylyk yok ýatyrmak'' (pronounced "gah-teel-yuhk yohk yah-teer-mahk") - It is not sleeping
* ''Gatylamak yok ýörüp barýar'' (pronounced "gah-teel-ah-mahk yohk yur-uhp bah-ree-ahr") - It is not going


Finally, the word ''yok'' can also be used to form questions. To do this, the word ''yok'' is placed after the verb. For example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkmen !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| ýöneýär  || yönewjär || He is going
|-
| ýöneýär-deň  || yönewjär-den || He is not going
|-
| ýöne-maar  || yönemar || I am not going
|-
| ýöne-mee  || yöneme || You are not going
|}


* ''Ýörmek yok?'' (pronounced "yur-mek yohk?") - Are you not running?
== Negating Adjectives ==
* ''Ýazmak yok?'' (pronounced "yahz-mahk yohk?") - Is it not writing?
* ''Ýatyrmak yok?'' (pronounced "yah-teer-mahk yohk?") - Is it not sleeping?
* ''Ýörüp barýar yok?'' (pronounced "yur-uhp bah-ree-ahr yohk?") - Is it not going?


Now that you know how to use negation in Turkmen, let's look at some examples of how to use it in a sentence.  
To negate adjectives in Turkmen, we use the word "bolma" or "bolmaz" depending on the vowel harmony of the adjective. We add this word after the adjective to indicate negation.
 
Let's see an example:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkmen !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Turkmen !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| iyi  || iyi || Good
|-
|-
| Men yok ýörmek || men yohk yur-mek || I am not running
| iyi-bolma  || iyi-bolma || Not good
|}
 
 
== Negating Nouns ==
 
To negate nouns in Turkmen, we use the word "degen" or "diňe" depending on the vowel harmony of the noun. We add this word before the noun to indicate negation. 
 
Let's see an example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkmen !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Gaty yok ýazmak || gah-tee yohk yahz-mahk || It is not writing
| gepleşýän adam  || gepleşän adam || A man who talks
|-
|-
| Gatylyk yok ýatyrmak || gah-teel-yuhk yohk yah-teer-mahk || It is not sleeping
| diňe-gepleşýän adam  || dinew-gepleşän adam || A man who does not talk
|}
 
== Negating Sentences ==
 
To negate sentences in Turkmen, we use the word "bolmadyk" or "bolmaz" depending on the vowel harmony of the verb. We add this word at the end of the sentence to indicate negation.
 
Let's see an example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkmen !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Gatylamak yok ýörüp barýar || gah-teel-ah-mahk yohk yur-uhp bah-ree-ahr || It is not going
| Men okap bilýärin.  || Men okap bilýärin || I can read.
|-
|-
| Ýörmek yok? || yur-mek yohk? || Are you not running?
| Men okap bilýärin, bolmaz!  || Men okap bilýärin, bolmaz || I can't read!
|-
| Ýazmak yok? || yahz-mahk yohk? || Is it not writing?
|-
| Ýatyrmak yok? || yah-teer-mahk yohk? || Is it not sleeping?
|-
| Ýörüp barýar yok? || yur-uhp bah-ree-ahr yohk? || Is it not going?
|}
|}


As you can see, negation in Turkmen is quite simple and straightforward. With practice, you will be able to use it correctly and confidently in your conversations.  
== Practice Dialogue ==
 
* Person 1: Eýý, mugallym, siz şäherde ýañyrygyny alynjak? (Excuse me, teacher, are you taking the bus in the city?)
* Person 2: Ýok, men otlaçylyşaçam. (No, I am walking.)
* Person 1: Näge? (Why?)
* Person 2: Çünki men ýürüýän adamlygy mynasyp. (Because I prefer walking.)
* Person 1: Aha, Şahatdan sebäbi barada ofisäniň terjimandaşynyň ýüzüne ýazdygyny görmedim. (I see, I haven't seen the face of the office translator who is going to meet us at the clock tower.)
* Person 2: Onuň ismini ýazyp bardym, ama onun wagtyny bilmediýime görä ýürüýär edim. (I wrote down his name, but because I don't know his schedule, I am walking.)
 
== Conclusion ==

Turkmen Grammar - Negation

Hi Turkmen learners! 😊

In this lesson, we will focus on negation in Turkmen. You will learn how to negate verbs, adjectives, and nouns in Turkmen. You will also learn about the different structures used to form negations in Turkmen.

Negating Verbs

To negate verbs in Turkmen, we use the word "deň" or "diň" depending on the vowel harmony of the verb. We add this word after the verb to indicate negation. In addition, we use the suffix "-ma" or "-me" to indicate negation as well. The suffix "-ma" is used for words with front vowels (e, ä, i, ö, ü) while the suffix "-me" is used for words with back vowels (a, ı, o, u).

Let's see some examples:

Turkmen Pronunciation English
ýöneýär yönewjär He is going
ýöneýär-deň yönewjär-den He is not going
ýöne-maar yönemar I am not going
ýöne-mee yöneme You are not going

Negating Adjectives

To negate adjectives in Turkmen, we use the word "bolma" or "bolmaz" depending on the vowel harmony of the adjective. We add this word after the adjective to indicate negation.

Let's see an example:

Turkmen Pronunciation English
iyi iyi Good
iyi-bolma iyi-bolma Not good


Negating Nouns

To negate nouns in Turkmen, we use the word "degen" or "diňe" depending on the vowel harmony of the noun. We add this word before the noun to indicate negation.

Let's see an example:

Turkmen Pronunciation English
gepleşýän adam gepleşän adam A man who talks
diňe-gepleşýän adam dinew-gepleşän adam A man who does not talk

Negating Sentences

To negate sentences in Turkmen, we use the word "bolmadyk" or "bolmaz" depending on the vowel harmony of the verb. We add this word at the end of the sentence to indicate negation.

Let's see an example:

Turkmen Pronunciation English
Men okap bilýärin. Men okap bilýärin I can read.
Men okap bilýärin, bolmaz! Men okap bilýärin, bolmaz I can't read!

Practice Dialogue

  • Person 1: Eýý, mugallym, siz şäherde ýañyrygyny alynjak? (Excuse me, teacher, are you taking the bus in the city?)
  • Person 2: Ýok, men otlaçylyşaçam. (No, I am walking.)
  • Person 1: Näge? (Why?)
  • Person 2: Çünki men ýürüýän adamlygy mynasyp. (Because I prefer walking.)
  • Person 1: Aha, Şahatdan sebäbi barada ofisäniň terjimandaşynyň ýüzüne ýazdygyny görmedim. (I see, I haven't seen the face of the office translator who is going to meet us at the clock tower.)
  • Person 2: Onuň ismini ýazyp bardym, ama onun wagtyny bilmediýime görä ýürüýär edim. (I wrote down his name, but because I don't know his schedule, I am walking.)
