Learning the Bengali 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 Bengali language. But first we need to know what the role of Negation is in the structure of the grammar in Bengali.

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

Grammar Tips:

In Bengali, negation can be made simply by placing "Na" or “nei” after the main verb. “ni” also used in first person statement in past tense. But sometimes a double negative is required. "Na" is the most common negative.

Ami ei kaaj korte parbo na (I can't do this). 

Tader kichhui korar nei (they don't have anything to do – Double Negative). 

Ami korini (I didn't do it)
