Talk:Negative verb

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The action itself is placed in an infinitive form" is not quite true in Finnish... The form depends on the tense and mood, as you can see in these examples. --Mikko Silvonen 14:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyediting required

[edit]

This article needs serious copyediting so that it includes all forms of the negative verb in the F-U languages; for example, the North Sámi example makes no mention whatsoever of the supinum form of the negative verb. -Yupik 09:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese and Dravidian languages sections

[edit]

They explain negation, not specifically negative verbs. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 10:05, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Japanese 〜ない somehow a 'negative verb', as described by the article's lead section?
I don't think the non-Uralic languages described match the definition at all. --88.113.162.167 (talk) 21:37, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
