Person 1: Бахьларас ши янагак1?
== Negation ==

(Do you like apples?)


Person 2: Ен, янагак бахьйес ХьалвачIахь.
* The apple **is not** red. (Sirok ma dehəy.)
(en janagak bax’jes xalwač’ax.)  
* You **are not** beautiful. (Sirem ma dehəs.)
(No, I don’t like apples.)
* We **are not** hungry. (Tin ma dehəs.)
(en - negative particle)


Here, "en" functions to indicate that the subject does not like apples.

== Cultural Information ==
* **Is** the apple red? (Sirok dehə mi?)
