Negation
The verbal negation is conveyed by the negative adverb rə, used before a word beginning in a consonant, or ər, used before a word beginning in a vowel. This adverb is placed before the verb, usually after other non-verbal elements in the sentence.
lozɛh ožoβa šoro → lozɛh ožoβa rə šoro the dog always sleeps → the dog doesn't sleep always
lozɛh fyx oh→ lozɛh fyx ər oh the dog bit the man → the dog didn't bite the man
Con i tempi verbali composti, viene solitamente posto tra la forma del participio ed il verbo ausiliare.
lozɛh šore imo → lozɛh šore ər imo the dog is sleeping → the dog isn't sleeping
Double negatives are generally not allowed; the presence of another negative element in the sentence inhibits the negative adverb.
