Negation is an important part of any language, and Occitan (post 1500) is no exception. In this lesson, we will look at how to form negative sentences in Occitan (post 1500). We will also look at some common expressions and idioms related to negation.
The most basic way to form a negative sentence in Occitan (post 1500) is to use the word "non". This word is placed before the verb in the sentence. For example:
- Non parli - I don't speak

- Pas parli - I don't speak
- Pas anam - We don't go
- Pas sap - He/she doesn't know
In addition to these basic forms, there are also some common expressions and idioms related to negation. For example, the phrase "non pas" is often used to emphasize a negative statement. For example:
- Non pas parli - I definitely don't speak
- Non pas anam - We definitely don't go

Another common expression is "mai", which is used to express a strong negative statement. For example:
- Mai parli - I never speak

Finally, the phrase "jamai" is also used to express a strong negative statement. For example:
