We will look at the different ways to express negation in Tajik, as well as some examples of how to use them.
Negation in Tajik is expressed using a variety of words and phrases. The most common way to express negation is by using the word не (ne). This word can be used to negate both verbs and adjectives. For example:

Another way to express negation in Tajik is by using the phrase не бошад (ne bošad). This phrase is used to negate nouns and pronouns. For example:
|| Tajik || Pronunciation || English Translation || | Ман он не бошам. | Man on ne bošam. | I don't have it. | | Он ман не бошад. | On man ne bošad. | He doesn't have me. |
The phrase не бошад can also be used to negate adverbs. For example:
|| Tajik || Pronunciation || English Translation || | Ман баъди он не бошам. | Man baʾdi on ne bošam. | I don't usually do that. | | Он баъди ман не бошад. | On baʾdi man ne bošad. | He usually doesn't have me. |
Finally, the phrase не доштан (ne doštan) is used to negate questions. For example:
|| Tajik || Pronunciation || English Translation || | Шумо доштаед ма? | Šumo doštaed ma? | Do you understand? | | Не доштам. | Ne doštam. | I don't understand. |
