💡

Prefix, not word

Always write 'ne-' attached to the verb.

Think of it as a team

The negative pronoun and the verb are a team. They both need to be negative.

Review Summary

  • ne + verb
  • ne-verb + negative pronoun/adverb

자주 하는 실수

You must negate the verb too. In Czech, the negative pronoun requires a negative verb.

Wrong: Vidím nic.
정답: Nevidím nic.

The prefix 'ne-' should be attached directly to the verb without a space.

Wrong: Ne mám.
정답: Nemám.

Do not add extra 'ne' words; one negative verb and one negative pronoun are enough.

Wrong: Nevidím nikoho ne.
정답: Nevidím nikoho.
