Negation is the twenty-ninth (assuming read left to right) skill in the Turkish language tree. It has a total of two lessons and teaches how to say that you are "not" doing something.
Grammar Notes[]
To negate a verb in Turkish, add the particle -mA- between the stem and the tense info. If the tense information starts with a vowel (such as -Iyor for the continuous) the -A- is removed and replaced by that vowel:
- seviyorum "I love" -> sevmiyorum "I do not love"
- yiyorum "I am eating" -> yemiyorum "I am not eating"
The two exceptions are "to be" and "to have", which have the separate negative forms değil and yok respectively.
Words[]
The only new word in this skill is henüz, which means "yet".
