Hi Nepali (individual language) learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will be discussing the basics of negation in Nepali (individual 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 Nepali (individual language), as well as some examples of how to use them.
Negation is a way of expressing the opposite of something. In Nepali (individual language), there are several ways to express negation. The most common way is to use the particle छैन (chhaina). This particle is used to negate verbs, adjectives, and nouns. For example:
- म कुरा गर्नुभएन (ma kura garnubhaina) - I don't do it
- त्यस बढी छैन (tyas badhi chhaina) - That is not big
- त्यस मान्छे छैन (tyas manche chhaina) - That is not a person
Another way to express negation in Nepali (individual language) is to use the particle होइन (hoina). This particle is used to negate verbs, adjectives, and nouns. For example:
- म कुरा गर्नुहोइन (ma kura garnuhoina) - I don't do it
- त्यस बढी होइन (tyas badhi hoina) - That is not big
- त्यस मान्छे होइन (tyas manche hoina) - That is not a person
The particle होइन (hoina) can also be used to express the negative form of a verb. For example:
- म खानुहोइन (ma khanuhoina) - I don't eat
- त्यस गर्नुहोइन (tyas garnuhoina) - That doesn't do it
- त्यस जानुहोइन (tyas januhoina) - That doesn't go
The particle होइन (hoina) can also be used to express the negative form of an adjective. For example:
- म खुशी होइन (ma khushi hoina) - I am not happy
- त्यस ठूलो होइन (tyas thulo hoina) - That is not big
- त्यस सुन्दर होइन (tyas sundar hoina) - That is not beautiful
Finally, the particle होइन (hoina) can also be used to express the negative form of a noun. For example:
- म मान्छे होइन (ma manche hoina) - I am not a person
- त्यस घर होइन (tyas ghar hoina) - That is not a house
- त्यस वाहन होइन (tyas vahan hoina) - That is not a vehicle
