Understanding Negative Sentences in Čeština
In Čeština, making a sentence negative means you want to say 'no' to something or show that something is not happening. It's like saying 'I don't want ice cream' instead of 'I want ice cream.'
Important Points
- Use 'ne' before the verb to make it negative.
- The word 'ne' is like saying 'not' in English.
- In some cases, the verb changes a little when you add 'ne'.
- Some verbs have special negative forms.
- Negative sentences can also use words like 'nikdy' (never) or 'nikdo' (nobody).
Let's see how this works with some examples.
Examples
- Já nejím jablka. (I do not eat apples.)
- On nemá rád mléko. (He does not like milk.)
- My nepůjdeme do školy. (We will not go to school.)
Sometimes, we use other words to make the sentence even more negative. These words are like 'never' or 'nobody' in English.
Examples
- Ona nikdy nezapomíná. (She never forgets.)
- Nikdo nechce jít ven. (Nobody wants to go outside.)
- On nikdy neříká pravdu. (He never tells the truth.)
By using 'ne' and other negative words, you can tell someone that something is not true or not happening. Practice making sentences negative to get better at it!
