	Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/tigrinya Tigrinya] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will learn about negation in Tigrinya. Negation is an important part of any language, and it is essential to understand how to use it correctly in order to communicate effectively. __TOC__

	~~Negation is the process of making a statement or phrase negative~~. In Tigrinya, ~~there are two main ways to make~~ a ~~statement negative:~~ by ~~using~~ the ~~negative~~ particle ~~''ma'' or by using~~ the ~~negative~~ verb ~~''mä''~~. ~~Let's take a look at each of these in more detail~~.		Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/tigrinya Tigrinya] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will focus on negation in Tigrinya, a crucial element of the language!

			__TOC__

			== Negation in Tigrinya ==
			Negation in Tigrinya is expressed mainly by adding the negating particle "nay" before the verb. For example, "ኣነስተወልድ" (anesteweld) means "he is eating" while "ኣነስውን ነይ" (anestewennen nay) means "he is not eating". As simple as that!

	~~==Negative Particle ''ma''==~~		Each tense has its own particle. For instance, in the present continuous tense, the negation is expressed through the particle "nna". The examples below illustrate it:
	~~The negative~~ particle ~~''ma'' is used to make a statement negative~~. It is ~~placed before~~ the ~~verb in a sentence~~. ~~For example~~:

	{\| class="wikitable"		{\| class="wikitable"
			! Tigrinya !! Pronunciation !! English
	\|-		\|-
	~~! Tigrinya !! Pronunciation !! English Translation~~		\| ዕድል ኣብ ልቡኡ ኣይተሓሰበን \|\| edil ab labuu aythasiben \|\| The baby is not crawling on the floor.
	\|-
	\| ~~ኣይተሓረም~~ \|\| ~~ayteharem~~ \|~~\| He doesn't go~~
	\|-
	~~\| ኣይተሓረም ኣብዚ \|\| ayteharem abz \|\| He doesn't go here~~
	\|-		\|-
	\| ~~ኣይተሓረም ኣብዚ ንኽእል~~ \|\| ~~ayteharem abz nk'el~~ \|\| ~~He doesn't go here today~~		\| መሪሕና ዋላታ ኣቢለካ ኣየሰርሕ \|\| merhina walata abelka ayserh \|\| Merhina does not live in Walata.
	\|}		\|}

	~~It is important~~ to ~~note that~~ the ~~negative~~ particle ~~''ma'' cannot~~ be ~~used with the verb '~~'~~to be''. To make~~ a ~~statement negative when using the verb ''to be'', you must use the negative verb ''mä''.~~		There are some exceptions to the rule. In some cases, the particle "nay" can be replaced by other particles. Let's take a look at some examples:

	==~~Negative Verb ''mä''~~==		=== Negation with Wa ===
	The ~~negative verb ''mä'' is used to make a statement negative when using the verb ''to be''. It is placed before~~ the ~~verb~~ in ~~a sentence~~. For ~~example~~:		The particle "wa" can replace the particle "nay" in some cases. For instance, instead of saying "ኣነስውን ነይ" (anestewennen nay), we can say "ኣነስውን ዋ" (anestewennen wa). Here are a few examples:

	{\| class="wikitable"		{\| class="wikitable"
			! Tigrinya !! Pronunciation !! English
	\|-		\|-
	~~! Tigrinya !! Pronunciation !! English Translation~~		\| እንዴት ኣልገልፍም? ኣይደለም። \|\| endet algelufum? aydelem. \|\| How are you feeling? Not good. (Literally: "How are you feeling? Not feeling well")
	\|-		\|-
	\| ~~ኣይነበሩ~~ \|\| ~~ayneberew~~ \|\| He is not ~~here~~		\| ስብስብ ዳግምም ኣይከኣልም \|\| sbisbi dagmam aykaalm \|\| Drinking alcohol is not healthy.
			\|}

			=== Negation with E-sharp ===
			In the past tense, the particle "nay" can be replaced by the consonant "t" with an e-sharp. Let's illustrate this with the following examples:

			{\| class="wikitable"
			! Tigrinya !! Pronunciation !! English
	\|-		\|-
	\| ~~ኣይነበሩ ኣብዚ~~ \|\| ~~ayneberew abz~~ \|\| ~~He is~~ not ~~here now~~		\| ዕድል ተሓማርኩም \|\| edil tahamarkum \|\| I didn't eat (Lit. I did not it-eat).
	\|-		\|-
	\| ~~ኣይነበሩ ኣብዚ ንኽእል~~ \|\| ~~ayneberew abz nk~~'el \|\| ~~He is~~ not ~~here today~~		\| ሰብ መምለኻን ዝብለኒ ባዕሉ \|\| seb mamelekhank zibleni ba'alu \|\| I didn't ask my mother for money. (Lit. I did not mother-ask for money)
	\|}		\|}

	~~It is important to note that the negative verb~~ ''mä'' ~~cannot be used~~ with ~~other verbs. To make a statement negative when using other verbs,~~ you ~~must~~ use the ~~negative particle ''ma~~''.		== Dialogue ==

			*Person 1: ንምትዓንጥ ድረስ ኣይብላሉ (Nitae'nti deres ayblahlu) - You don't speak Arabic very well.
			*Person 2: ኣልተብሎ (Alatebelo) - I didn't study it well.

			== Practice ==
			Let's practice with some exercises which will help you use negation in Tigrinya correctly.

			1. Translate the following sentences to Tigrinya:

			* I am not tired.
			* We don't like to eat meat.

			2. Translate the following sentences to English:

			* ኣምላኽ ኣይንዳንም (Amelak ayndanum).
			* ካብ ድመት ኣነ መስኪዕ (Kab dmeth ane mesk'i).

Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/tigrinya Tigrinya] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will learn about negation in Tigrinya. Negation is an important part of any language, and it is essential to understand how to use it correctly in order to communicate effectively. __TOC__

Negation is the process of making a statement or phrase negative. In Tigrinya, there are two main ways to make a statement negative: by using the negative particle ''ma'' or by using the negative verb ''mä''. Let's take a look at each of these in more detail.

==Negative Particle ''ma''==
The negative particle ''ma'' is used to make a statement negative. It is placed before the verb in a sentence. For example:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Tigrinya !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| ኣይተሓረም || ayteharem || He doesn't go
|-
| ኣይተሓረም ኣብዚ || ayteharem abz || He doesn't go here
|-
| ኣይተሓረም ኣብዚ ንኽእል || ayteharem abz nk'el || He doesn't go here today
|}

It is important to note that the negative particle ''ma'' cannot be used with the verb ''to be''. To make a statement negative when using the verb ''to be'', you must use the negative verb ''mä''.

==Negative Verb ''mä''==
The negative verb ''mä'' is used to make a statement negative when using the verb ''to be''. It is placed before the verb in a sentence. For example:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Tigrinya !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| ኣይነበሩ || ayneberew || He is not here
|-
| ኣይነበሩ ኣብዚ || ayneberew abz || He is not here now
|-
| ኣይነበሩ ኣብዚ ንኽእል || ayneberew abz nk'el || He is not here today
|}

It is important to note that the negative verb ''mä'' cannot be used with other verbs. To make a statement negative when using other verbs, you must use the negative particle ''ma''.
