[LESSON VI.]

Formation of Negative Sentences.

Tidak, no.

Tiada, is not (are, was, were, do, did not, &c.).

Bukan, no, not.

Jangan, don’t, let not.

Antah, I know not; who knows? there is no saying.

Jangan-kan, not only, not, so far from.

Bukan is a more emphatic denial than tidak. It is also used, either alone or with the affix -kah, to signify is it not? is it not so?
