LESSON 61Negation
Lesson objective
In this lesson, you will learn how to make a verb negative in Darija.
The normal negative form
To say did not, do not, does not, Darija uses two parts around the verb: ma- + verb + -š.
šrbna — we drank · ma-šrbna-š — we did not drink
The prefix ma- comes before the verb, and the suffix -š comes after it.
Exercise: put the verbs in the negative form
Conjugate the verbs in parentheses correctly and make them negative:
- huwa (safr) s-simana lli fatt.
- l-barн f l-lil (qra) l-ktab dyali нit knt 3iyan.
- hiya (gls) m3ana нit (sala) l-xdma dyalha.
- нna (n3s) bkri нit (t3šša) bkri.
- Kari (lbs) l-kswa j-jdida f l-нfla нit (kan) 3ndha l-wqt.
- mlli ja l l-mġrib (ṣifṭ) bra l l-walidin dyalu.
- kant l-brd u ana (нll) s-srajm.
