부정문 — Negative Sentences

Korean has two ways to negate verbs: short negation (안) and long negation (-지 않다). Both mean the same thing.

Short negation: 안 + verb

PositiveNegative
가요 (go)안 가요 (don't go)
먹어요 (eat)안 먹어요 (don't eat)
좋아해요 (like)좋아안 해요 ✗ → 안 좋아해요 ✓

Long negation: verb stem + -지 않아요

PositiveNegative
가요 (go)가지 않아요 (don't go)
먹어요 (eat)먹지 않아요 (don't eat)
공부해요 (study)공부하지 않아요 (don't study)

하다 verbs with short negation: For compound 하다 verbs, 안 goes before 하다: 공부 안 해요 (NOT *안 공부해요). But 안 좋아해요 is also acceptable.

Special negatives (inherently negative words):

  • 없다 (not exist/not have) — already negative, don't add 안
  • 모르다 (not know) — negative of 알다 (know)
  • 못 + verb = cannot (inability): 못 가요 (can't go)

못 vs 안: 안 = choose not to (won't). 못 = unable to (can't). 안 먹어요 (I don't eat it — choice). 못 먹어요 (I can't eat it — unable).

Learners confuse short/long negation placement, use double negation with 없다, or mix up 안 (won't) and 못 (can't). 🇬🇧 English speakers: English negation uses 'don't/doesn't' which is relatively simple. Korean's two systems feel redundant at first. Tip: short 안 is more conversational, long -지 않다 is slightly more formal/written. 🇩🇪 German speakers: German uses 'nicht' (similar to 안) before the verb. The long negation -지 않다 has no German parallel. Also, 못 (can't) vs 안 (won't) maps roughly to 'kann nicht' vs 'will nicht'.

Häufige Fehlermuster

Placed 안 in the wrong position (e.g., before compound noun instead of before 하다)

Simple verbs: 안 + verb (안 가요). 하다 compounds: noun + 안 + 해요 (공부 안 해요)

Confused 안 (won't/don't) with 못 (can't)

안 = voluntary choice (I won't). 못 = inability (I can't). 안 먹어요 (won't eat) vs 못 먹어요 (can't eat)

오늘 안 가요.

Ich gehe heute nicht.

Kurze Negation: 안 vor dem Verb. 안 + 가요 = gehe nicht.

매운 음식을 먹지 않아요.

Ich esse kein scharfes Essen.

Lange Negation: Stamm + 지 않아요. Formeller als 안 먹어요.

수영을 못 해요.

Ich kann nicht schwimmen.

못 = kann nicht (Unfähigkeit). Vergleich: 안 해요 = tue nicht (Wahl) vs 못 해요 = kann nicht.

공부 안 해요.

Ich lerne nicht.

하다-Komposita: 안 steht zwischen Nomen und 하다. 공부 + 안 + 해요.
