Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/kannada Kannada] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will learn about negation in Kannada. Negation is a very important part of any language, and it is essential to understand how to use it correctly in order to communicate effectively. We will look at the different ways to express negation in Kannada, as well as some examples of how to use them. __TOC__


Negation is the process of expressing the opposite of something. In Kannada, there are several ways to express negation. The most common way is to use the word ಇಲ್ಲ (illa). This word can be used to negate verbs, adjectives, nouns, and other parts of speech. For example:
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/kannada Kannada] learners! 😊<br>
In this lesson, we will be discussing negation in Kannada language. Negation is the process of making a sentence negative. Understanding negation is important if you want to speak and write in Kannada with accuracy and fluency. So let's get started!


* ನಾನು ಹೋದೆನು (Nānu hōdenu) - I am going
__TOC__
* ನಾನು ಇಲ್ಲ (Nānu illa) - I am not going


Another way to express negation in Kannada is to use the word ಅಲ್ಲ (alla). This word is used to negate verbs, adjectives, nouns, and other parts of speech. For example:
== Negation Particles ==


* ಅವರು ಹೋದರು (Avaru hōdarū) - They are going
In Kannada, the particles "alla" and "beda" are used to indicate negation in a sentence. "Alla" is used to negate nouns, while "beda" is used to negate verbs.
* ಅವರು ಅಲ್ಲ (Avaru alla) - They are not going


The third way to express negation in Kannada is to use the word ಇಲ್ಲವೇ (illavē). This word is used to negate verbs, adjectives, nouns, and other parts of speech. For example:
*Examples:*


* ತಮ್ಮ ಹೆಸರು ಹೊಸವಾಗಿದೆ (Tamm heṣaru hēūsavāgidē) - Your name is new
{| class="wikitable"
* ತಮ್ಮ ಹೆಸರು ಇಲ್ಲವೇ (Tamm heṣaru illavē) - Your name is not new
! Kannada !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮಗೆ ದುಃಖ ಬಂದಿಲ್ಲ. || nanna aatmage dukha bandilla || I didn't feel sad.
|-
| ಅವನು ಹೋಗಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. || avanu hogirallilla || He didn't go.
|-
| ನಾವು ಅವರಿಂದ ಖರೀದಿ ಮಾಡಲಿಲ್ಲ. || naavu avarindha kharida maadallilla || We didn't buy it from them.
|-
| ಆಹಾರ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ತಿಂದಿಲ್ಲ. || aahaara jaasthi thindilla || I didn't eat much food.
|}


Finally, the fourth way to express negation in Kannada is to use the word ಅಲ್ಲವೇ (allavē). This word is used to negate verbs, adjectives, nouns, and other parts of speech. For example:
== Double Negation ==


* ಅವರು ಕೊಂಡಿಗಳು ಹೊರತುಗಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ (Avaru koṇḍigalu hōratugalidāre) - They have changed their minds
In Kannada, double negation is considered grammatically incorrect. Using two negative particles in a sentence makes the sentence positive. Instead of using two negative particles, only one negative particle should be used to indicate negation.
* ಅವರು ಕೊಂಡಿಗಳು ಅಲ್ಲವೇ (Avaru koṇḍigalu allavē) - They have not changed their minds


Now that you know the different ways to express negation in Kannada, let's look at some examples of how to use them.

== Negation of Present Tense Verbs ==

|-
