Okay, in episode 0017 we learned neblogai means, not bad, and in episode 0046 we learned negalima translates as, one cannot.\\xa0 Today we\\u2019ll have a short introduction to negating a verb.\\xa0 It\\u2019s simple.\\xa0 Just add ne- to the beginning of the verb.\\xa0
The verb b\\u016bti, to be, is irregular.\\xa0 Just add ne- to b\\u016bti and you have the verb neb\\u016bti, to not be.
I am\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0
a\\u0161 esu\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

he is not\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

So, dear, can you say, let\\u2019s say, for example, two children talking and then one child says, \\u201cyour father is bad,\\u201d and the other child can say, \\u201cJis n\\u0117ra!\\u201d
Taip, galima, \\u201cJis n\\u0117ra blogas.\\u201d
(blogas - bad)
So, the child can just say \\u2013 just simply \\u2013 Jis n\\u0117ra!
