Review Summary
- ne- + verb
常见错误
The 'ne-' prefix is never separated from the verb. It must be written as one single word.
Learners often try to use 'nav' (is not) for actions. Use 'ne-' prefix instead.
Ensure you are negating the correct verb. 'Zinu' is for knowing facts, 'gribu' is for wanting things.
