The 'Ni-' Magnet

Whenever you use a word starting with 'Ni-', treat it like a magnet that pulls 'ne' to your verb.

Review Summary

  • Ne + Verb
  • Negative Pronoun + Ne + Verb
  • Verb + li + ...?

よくある間違い

The 'ne' merges with the verb 'biti'. It is not a separate word in this case.

Wrong: Ja ne sam ovdje.
正解: Ja nisam ovdje.

You cannot have a negative pronoun without the negative verb. Double negation is mandatory.

Wrong: Nitko radi.
正解: Nitko ne radi.

In short questions, don't repeat the pronoun if it's already implied by the verb form.

Wrong: Gdje ti si?
正解: Gdje si?

Next Steps
