Negative Pronouns in Armenian

The following are the negative pronouns of the Armenian language. Armenian-Language-Negative Pronouns 1 PolyglotClub.jpg


Here are six sentences that use negative pronouns:

  1. Նրանցից ոչ մեկը չի վերադարձել: None of them have returned.
  2. Դու դրանցից ոչ մեկը չես սիրում։ You do not like any of them.
  3. Նրան երբեք ոչինչ չի գոհացնում: Nothing ever pleases him.
  4. Իր աշխատանքի համար նա ոչինչ չստացավ։ She did not receive anything for her work.
  5. Երբ լույսը անջատեցին, ես ոչ ոքի չէի տեսնում: When they turned off the light, I couldn’t see anyone.
  6. Ոչ մի բանից մի՛ խուսափիր։ Do not avoid anything.


As is evident from examples, double negative is used in Armenian. Thus we write “Ոչ ոք չի քնում։” and not “Ոչ ոք է քնում.” Often other words are used for “բան” in “ինչ-որ մի բան”, “ոչ մի բան” and “որևէ բան.”

  1. Ինչ-որ մի պրոբլեմ առաջացավ Ջուլիի հետ կապված: A (some) problem came up pertaining to Juli.
  2. Ոչ մի կարտոֆիլ չմնաց դաշտում: Not one potato remained in the field.
