~지 않다
When you want to say that you don't do something or something isn't a certain way, you can use the phrase '~지 않다' (ji anta).
You attach '~지 않다' directly to the end of a verb stem or an adjective stem.
For example, if you have the verb '가다' (gada - to go), to say 'I don't go,' you'd take the stem '가-' and add '~지 않다', making it '가지 않다'.
Similarly, for an adjective like '크다' (keuda - to be big), to say 'it is not big,' you'd use '크지 않다'.
This is a very common and useful way to make sentences negative in Korean, similar to using 'not' in English.
When you want to say that you do not do something or that something is not a certain way, you use the grammatical structure ~지 않다.
This is attached directly to the stem of a verb or an adjective.
For example, if you want to say "I don't eat," you would take the verb 먹다 (to eat), remove 다 to get the stem 먹, and then add ~지 않다, resulting in 먹지 않다.
If you want to say "It is not expensive," you would take 비싸다 (to be expensive), remove 다 to get 비싸, and add ~지 않다, resulting in 비싸지 않다.
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
The Korean grammatical construction ‘~지 않다’ (pronounced ‘ji an-ta’) is essential for expressing negation. It’s one of the most common ways to say ‘to not do something’ or ‘to be not something’ in Korean. If you want to tell someone you don't like kimchi, or that the weather isn't good, this is the structure you'll reach for. It's used with both action verbs and descriptive verbs (adjectives).
- DEFINITION
- To not do (something); negative form of a verb/adjective.
Think of ‘~지 않다’ as your go-to phrase when you need to negate a statement. It's versatile and can be used in almost any situation where you want to express a negative idea. The '지' part attaches directly to the verb stem, and '않다' then acts as the negative auxiliary verb.
Let’s break it down:
- Verb Stem + ~지 않다: This is the basic structure. You take the root form of a verb (e.g., 가다 'to go', 먹다 'to eat', 예쁘다 'to be pretty') and remove the '다'. What's left is the verb stem (e.g., 가-, 먹-, 예쁘-). Then, you simply add '~지 않다'.
Here are some common examples of how verbs change with ‘~지 않다’:
- 가다 (to go) → 가지 않다 (to not go)
- 먹다 (to eat) → 먹지 않다 (to not eat)
- 읽다 (to read) → 읽지 않다 (to not read)
- 하다 (to do) → 하지 않다 (to not do)
And for descriptive verbs (adjectives):
- 예쁘다 (to be pretty) → 예쁘지 않다 (to not be pretty)
- 크다 (to be big) → 크지 않다 (to not be big)
- 작다 (to be small) → 작지 않다 (to not be small)
The ‘않다’ part of the phrase then conjugates just like any other verb, depending on the politeness level and tense you want to use. This is where it gets really useful, as you can form past tense negatives, future tense negatives, and various politeness levels without changing the '지' part.
For example, in present tense, polite form, ‘않다’ becomes ‘않아요’:
저는 김치를 먹지 않아요. (I don't eat kimchi.)
날씨가 좋지 않아요. (The weather is not good.)
In past tense, polite form, ‘않다’ becomes ‘않았어요’:
어제 학교에 가지 않았어요. (I didn't go to school yesterday.)
In future tense, polite form, ‘않다’ becomes ‘않을 거예요’:
내일 비가 오지 않을 거예요. (It won't rain tomorrow.)
You might also encounter a shorter negative form using '안' before the verb. For example, '안 먹어요' (I don't eat). While '안' is often interchangeable with '~지 않다', '지 않다' is generally considered a bit more formal or emphasizes the negation slightly more. It’s also the only way to negate descriptive verbs (adjectives) when you want to use the long-form negative. For example, you can't say '안 예뻐요' if you want to say 'it's not pretty' in the same way you can say '예쁘지 않아요'. Both '안 예뻐요' and '예쁘지 않아요' are correct and mean 'it's not pretty'. However, '안' is usually placed directly before the verb or adjective you are negating, while '~지 않다' always follows the verb stem.
Mastering ‘~지 않다’ will significantly expand your ability to express a wide range of ideas in Korean, allowing you to participate in more nuanced conversations. Don't shy away from practicing it often with various verbs and adjectives!
§ Understanding ~지 않다
The Korean phrase '~지 않다' is a fundamental expression for making negative statements. It's equivalent to saying 'to not do (something)' or 'not be (something)' in English. This is a crucial grammatical structure you'll use constantly, whether you're talking about actions or describing things. Mastering '~지 않다' is a significant step towards expressing yourself clearly in Korean.
- Key Function
- It's used to negate verbs and adjectives, forming the negative form of a statement.
§ Basic Structure: Verb/Adjective Stem + 지 않다
The usage of '~지 않다' is quite straightforward. You take the stem of a verb or an adjective and simply attach '~지 않다' to it. There are no complicated conjugations or irregular forms to worry about when adding '~지 않다' itself, which makes it very user-friendly for learners.
§ Conjugating ~지 않다
While the '~지 않다' part itself doesn't change based on the stem, the '않다' part (which means 'to not do/be') needs to be conjugated according to politeness levels and tenses, just like any other verb. Here are the most common conjugations you'll encounter:
- Present Tense (Formal Polite): ~지 않습니다
- Present Tense (Informal Polite): ~지 않아요
- Past Tense (Formal Polite): ~지 않았습니다
- Past Tense (Informal Polite): ~지 않았어요
- Future Tense/Conjecture (Informal Polite): ~지 않을 거예요
§ Examples with Verbs
Let's look at how '~지 않다' works with some common Korean verbs.
- Verb: 먹다 (to eat)
- Stem: 먹-
저는 매운 음식을 먹지 않아요.
- Translation Hint
- I don't eat spicy food.
- Verb: 가다 (to go)
- Stem: 가-
오늘은 학교에 가지 않습니다.
- Translation Hint
- Today, I am not going to school.
§ Examples with Adjectives
You can also use '~지 않다' to negate adjectives, describing what something is not.
- Adjective: 크다 (to be big)
- Stem: 크-
이 집은 크지 않아요.
- Translation Hint
- This house is not big.
- Adjective: 좋다 (to be good)
- Stem: 좋-
날씨가 좋지 않았어요.
- Translation Hint
- The weather was not good.
§ Comparison with '안'
You might also have learned about '안' (an) for negation. Both '~지 않다' and '안' are used to negate verbs and adjectives. While often interchangeable, there are subtle differences:
- ~지 않다: Generally seen as a slightly more formal or longer way to negate. It can feel a bit softer or more emphatic when compared to '안'. It's also the only way to negate descriptive adjectives if you want to explicitly state what something *is not*.
- 안: A shorter, more direct negation. It often comes right before the verb or adjective you are negating.
§ Practical Application
Incorporating '~지 않다' into your everyday Korean conversations will immediately expand your ability to express negative ideas. Practice creating your own sentences with different verbs and adjectives. Think about things you don't do or things that aren't a certain way, and try to phrase them using this structure.
- Example in Context
- Imagine someone asks if you like coffee. If you don't, you would say: 커피를 좋아하지 않아요. (I don't like coffee.)

~지 않다 Basics
Use ~지 않다 after a verb stem or adjective stem to make it negative. It's a common and straightforward way to say 'not' in Korean. For example, '가다' (to go) becomes '가지 않다' (to not go).
Placement is Key
Always attach ~지 않다 directly to the verb or adjective stem. Do not put anything between the stem and ~지 않다. So, for '먹다' (to eat), it's '먹지 않다', not '먹다지 않다'.
Formal vs. Informal
The ending of ~지 않다 will change depending on the politeness level. For example, in polite informal, it's '가지 않아요'. In formal polite, it's '가지 않습니다'.
Adjectives Too
Remember that ~지 않다 works for adjectives as well. For example, '예쁘다' (to be pretty) becomes '예쁘지 않다' (to not be pretty). This is different from how '안' is often used with adjectives.
Don't Confuse with '안'
While ~지 않다 and '안' both express negation, they are not always interchangeable. ~지 않다 is generally more formal or slightly more emphasized than '안'. '안' goes before the verb/adjective.
With '하다' Verbs
For '하다' verbs (e.g., '공부하다' - to study), ~지 않다 attaches to the '하다' part: '공부하지 않다'. This is important for correct grammar.
Irregular Verbs
Be mindful of irregular verbs. The stem might change before ~지 않다. For example, '듣다' (to listen) becomes '듣지 않다', but some irregulars can be tricky. Always check if unsure.
Practice Sentences
The best way to master ~지 않다 is to practice making your own negative sentences. Try taking simple positive sentences you know and changing them to negatives.
Subtle Nuances
While often interchangeable with '안', ~지 않다 can sometimes imply a more deliberate or conscious decision not to do something, or a stronger statement of negation. For A2, focus on general usage.
Listen to Natives
Pay attention to how native Korean speakers use ~지 않다 in different contexts. This will help you internalize its usage and understand the subtle differences compared to '안'.

The sentence is in past tense, indicating an action that has not been completed yet. '않았다' is the appropriate past tense negative form.

The phrase '~것 같아요' expresses probability or conjecture. '않을' is the future tense adnominal form, which correctly modifies '것' and expresses a probable future negative state.

다음 문장 중 의미가 다른 것을 고르세요. (Choose the sentence with a different meaning.)
나머지 문장들은 모두 '바쁘다'의 부정형을 나타내거나 '바쁘지 않다'와 같은 의미를 내포하고 있습니다. '그는 바빠요'는 긍정형입니다. (The other sentences all express the negative form of 'to be busy' or imply the same meaning as 'not busy.' 'He is busy' is an affirmative statement.)
친구가 여행을 가자고 했지만, 저는 돈이 ___ 않아서 갈 수 없었어요. (My friend suggested going on a trip, but I didn't have enough money, so I couldn't go.)
'돈이 많지 않다'는 '돈이 충분하지 않다'는 의미로, 여행을 갈 수 없는 이유를 설명합니다. ( '돈이 많지 않다' means 'not to have a lot of money,' which explains why one couldn't go on a trip.)
아무리 노력해도 이 문제가 ___ 해결되지 않아요. (No matter how hard I try, this problem isn't getting solved.)
'쉽게 해결되지 않다'는 '해결하기 어렵다'는 의미로, 아무리 노력해도 안 되는 상황을 표현합니다. ( '쉽게 해결되지 않다' means 'not easily solved,' expressing a situation where it's difficult to solve despite effort.)
'아침을 먹지 않아요'는 '아침을 먹을 거예요'와 같은 의미이다.
'아침을 먹지 않아요'는 '아침을 먹지 않는다'는 부정의 의미이고, '아침을 먹을 거예요'는 '아침을 먹을 것이다'라는 미래 긍정의 의미입니다. ( 'I don't eat breakfast' means 'I do not eat breakfast,' which is a negative meaning, while 'I will eat breakfast' means 'I will eat breakfast,' which is an affirmative meaning in the future.)
'저는 한국어를 잘하지 않습니다'는 '저는 한국어를 못합니다'와 비슷한 의미로 사용될 수 있다.
'~지 않다'는 단순히 부정의 의미를 나타내지만, '잘하지 않다'는 문맥에 따라 '못하다'와 유사하게 능력이 부족함을 표현할 수 있습니다. (While '~지 않다' simply indicates negation, '잘하지 않다' can, depending on the context, express a lack of ability similarly to '못하다.')
형용사에 '~지 않다'를 붙이면 그 형용사의 반대 의미가 된다.
'~지 않다'는 형용사의 부정형을 만들지만, 항상 반대 의미가 되는 것은 아닙니다. 예를 들어, '예쁘지 않다'가 '못생겼다'와 완전히 같은 의미는 아닙니다. (Attaching '~지 않다' to an adjective creates its negative form, but it doesn't always result in the opposite meaning. For example, 'not pretty' is not exactly the same as 'ugly.')
The movie wasn't as interesting as I expected.
No matter how much I try, it seems this problem won't be easily solved.
I'm busy these days, so I can't exercise regularly.

'바쁘다' (to be busy) is an adjective, and attaching ~지 않다 to its stem '바쁘-' correctly forms the negative '바쁘지 않아요.'
You can always interchange ~지 않다 and '안' without any change in nuance or formality.
While both '~지 않다' and '안' express negation, '~지 않다' can sometimes convey a slightly more formal or emphatic negation, and '안' is more common in casual speech for simple negations. There can be subtle differences in nuance and formality, especially when used with certain verbs or in specific contexts.
To make '먹다' (to eat) negative using ~지 않다, you would say '먹지 않아요.'

~지 않다 Basics
Use ~지 않다 after a verb stem or adjective stem to make it negative. It's a common and straightforward way to say 'not' in Korean. For example, '가다' (to go) becomes '가지 않다' (to not go).
Placement is Key
Always attach ~지 않다 directly to the verb or adjective stem. Do not put anything between the stem and ~지 않다. So, for '먹다' (to eat), it's '먹지 않다', not '먹다지 않다'.
Formal vs. Informal
The ending of ~지 않다 will change depending on the politeness level. For example, in polite informal, it's '가지 않아요'. In formal polite, it's '가지 않습니다'.
Adjectives Too
Remember that ~지 않다 works for adjectives as well. For example, '예쁘다' (to be pretty) becomes '예쁘지 않다' (to not be pretty). This is different from how '안' is often used with adjectives.
