Polish Negation

Learning the Polish Negation is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you master it the more you get closer to mastering the Polish language. But first we need to know what the role of Negation is in the structure of the grammar in Polish.

Polish negation is the process that turns an affirmative statement (I am happy) into its opposite denial (I am not happy).

Grammar Tips:

In Polish, negation can be made simply by placing "nie" (no) before the main verb. But sometimes a double negative is required. "Nie" is the most common negative.

Nie potrafię tego zrobić (I can't do this). 

Oni nie mają niczego do roboty (they don't have anything to do – Double Negative). 

Nie, nie lubię tego (No, I don't like it)


Here are some examples:
