Negative Sentence (part 1). phrase verb

·               To make a negative sentence with verbs you should respect the following rules.

1) Putting the verb bettween the prefix (ma) and the suffix (sh) like this.

                           Rule verb : ma + verb+ sh

Affirmative sentence     

                           - Ana bghit n3rf shkun nta  .                          

                             I want to know how are u ?                        

Negative sentence

                      ma + bghit+ sh (ma bghitsh) = i don’t .

                     ma bghitsh nshufk = i don’t want to see you.   

  Feeling expressions :

               I like you so much                                              i don’t

 -  Kan7s b rra7a m3ek                                      ma kan7ssh (ma kan7sh)….

                    I feel at ease with you.                                 I don’t.

- Nqdr n3ish bla bik                                            ma nqdrsh…

                      I  can live without you.                               I can’t.

2)    In some cases, you can also use the words ( walo or 7tta 7aja= nothing) instead of the suffix (sh) to express a negative sentence.

Examples.

 

-         Ma fhemt walo   ------- ma fhemt 7tta 7aja         (I understand nothing)

  -         Ma sme3t walo  -------- ma sme3t 7tta 7aja          ( i hear nothing)

  -         Ma dert walo  ------- ma dert 7tta 7aja                   ( i did nothing)

 

   3) Sometime the word ( ga3 = definitely) can be used as a perfect respond in negation.
