GRAMMAR
T he Focus of T his Le sson is Asking Some one Not t o Do Some t hing in Japane se

Now that we know how to use the te-form of a verb to ask something to do something,
we can change the te-form into the negative form to ask someone not to do something.
Te lling Some one Not t o Do Some t hing

To tell someone not to do something, we put the verb into the informal negative form
and then add de kudasai (). Let's quickly review how to make this negative
form:

Drop the final -u sound

2.

Add -a nai

English

Dict ionary Form

ikanai

"to speak"

* For the class 1 verbs that have dictionary forms ending in hiragana u (), we add -wanai
() instead of anai ().

taberu

tabenai

"to see"

Class 3 ve rbs (Irre gular ve rbs)


Remember that the two irregular verbs don't follow any pattern and so their different
forms must be memorized.

Adding de () to the negative form of the verb creates an informal command.
