Learning the Kurdish 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 Kurdish language. But first we need to know what the role of Negation is in the structure of the grammar in Kurdish.
Kurdish negation is the process that turns an affirmative statement (I am happy) into its opposite denial (I am not happy). Here are some examples:

| he is not here | ئەو لێرە نییە (نێر) |
| that is not my book | ئەوە کتێبی من نییە |
| do not enter | مەچۆ ژوورەوە |
