Affirmative and Negative

In Nepali, Affirmative means karan(करण) and Negative means Akaran (अकरण)

Karan is a sentence that has a positive meaning.
An akaran is a sentence that has the opposite meaning.

Example:

Rama ate rice. रामले भात खायो. Ramle bhat khayo.

Rama did not eat rice. रामले भात खाएन. Ramle bhat khayena.

Note to be known:

Sometimes, न word is added before the verb to change it to negative but that is not how we make it negative.

example :

Mero jhola ramro chha.

Incorrect: Mero jhola naramro chha.

correct: Mero jhola ramro chaina.

Add “न” in the verb while converting affirmative words into negative.

Adding “न” at the beginning, middle and end of the verb can make a verb into a Negative verb.
