Hindi Grammar - Negation

Hi Hindi learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about negation in Hindi. Negation is a very 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 Hindi, as well as some examples of how to use them. So let's get started!

Negation in Hindi

Negation in Hindi is expressed using the words नहीं (nahī̃) and मत (mat). These two words are used to express the idea of "not" or "no".

The word नहीं (nahī̃) is used to express a negative statement, while the word मत (mat) is used to express a negative command. For example:

Hindi Pronunciation English Translation
मैं नहीं खाऊंगा maĩ nahī̃ khā̃ū̃gā I won't eat
मुझे मत करो muje mat karo Don't do it

The word नहीं (nahī̃) can also be used to express a negative question. For example:

Hindi Pronunciation English Translation
तुम नहीं जाओगे? tum nahī̃ jāogē? Won't you go?
तुम मत करोगे? tum mat karogē? Won't you do it?

It is important to note that the word नहीं (nahī̃) is always placed after the verb or auxiliary verb in a sentence. For example:

Hindi Pronunciation English Translation
मैं खाना नहीं खाऊंगा maĩ khānā nahī̃ khā̃ū̃gā I won't eat food
मुझे काम नहीं करोगा muje kām nahī̃ karogā I won't do the work

It is also important to note that the word मत (mat) is always placed before the verb or auxiliary verb in a sentence. For example:

Hindi Pronunciation English Translation
मुझे मत खाना खाओ muje mat khānā khāo Don't eat food
मुझे मत काम करो muje mat kām karo Don't do the work
