Negation

The basic negation is pas, which follows the verb. Its translation is not (yes is said òc and no is said non).

• Parli pas.  lit. I speak-not. = I don't speak
• An pas parlat.  lit. (They) have not spoken. = They haven't spoken.

• I vesi pas res.  lit. I-see-not-nothing. = I don't see anything.
• Lo tròbi pas enluòc.  lit. Him-find-not-nowhere. = I don't find him anywhere.
• Sortís pas jamai.  lit. Goes out-not-never. = He never goes out.
• Degun es pas vengut.  lit. Nobody-is-not-come. = Nobody came.
