Understanding Negative Sentences in Tiếng Việt
In Tiếng Việt, making a sentence negative is like saying 'no' to something. It's important to know how to do this so you can talk about things that are not happening or things you don't like.
Important Points
- The word 'không' is used to say 'no' or 'not'.
- The word 'chưa' means 'not yet'.
- You usually put 'không' or 'chưa' before the verb in the sentence.
- Using 'không' is like saying 'I do not', 'he does not', or 'they do not'.
- Using 'chưa' is like saying 'I have not yet', 'he has not yet', or 'they have not yet'.
Let's look at some examples to see how these words work in sentences.
Examples
- Không ăn táo. (I do not eat apples.)
- Chưa đi học. (I have not yet gone to school.)
- Không thích mưa. (I do not like rain.)
Remember, using 'không' and 'chưa' correctly will help you express what you don't do or haven't done yet. Practice using these words with different verbs to become more comfortable with negative sentences in Tiếng Việt.
