Understanding Negation in Қазақша
Negation is a way to say 'no' or 'not' in a sentence. In Қазақша, we use special words to make sentences negative. This means we change a sentence so it tells us that something is not happening or something is not true.
Important Points
- The word 'емес' is used to make sentences negative.
- The word 'жоқ' is used to say something does not exist or is not present.
Using 'емес' for Negation
We use 'емес' to say that something is not something else. It comes after the word we want to negate.
Examples
- Бұл алма емес.
- Ол дәрігер емес.
- Менің үйім үлкен емес.
'жоқ' is used to say that something is not there or does not exist. It is often used with questions or when talking about the absence of something.
Examples
- Менде ақша жоқ.
- Үйде ешкім жоқ.
- Кітаптар жоқ еді.
In Қазақша, we use 'жоқ' with verbs to say that an action is not happening. We often use it with 'етпей' to mean 'not doing'.
Examples
- Мен келмеймін, өйткені уақыт жоқ.
- Ол жұмыс жоқ істейді.
- Біз бармаймыз, себебі автобус жоқ.
Important Points
- 'емес' is for saying something is not something else.
- 'жоқ' is for saying something is missing or not happening.
- Practice using these words in sentences to get comfortable with negation.
