Negative Sentences in Korean
There are two main ways to make a sentence negative in Korean. The first way is by using 안. This is colloquial and more simple as it does not change the tense. The second way is by using -지 않다. This is more formal and conjugated based on the tense.
Conjugation:
For the first method: Add 안 before a verb
For the second method: Drop 다 from the verb and add -지 않다 to the end of the verb stem. The conjugation for present tense is -지 않아요, while the conjugation for past tense is -지 않았어요.
Examples using 안:
안 아파요 - It doesn’t hurt
저는 고기를 안 먹어요 - I don’t eat meat
저는 내일 학교에 안 가겠어요 - I’m not going to school tomorrow
Examples using -지 않다:
가지 않았어요 - I didn’t go
저는 생선을 좋아하지 않아요 - I don’t like fish
버리지 않았어요 - I didn’t throw it away
Exceptions:
These two words do not follow the rules mentioned above. Instead their antonyms are used.
있다: Instead of using 있다 (to be, to exist, to have), use 없다 (to not be, to not exist, to not have.)
알다: Instead of using 알다 (to know), use 모르다 (to not know.)

Mandarin Chinese Character Strokes
A/N: This is for those interested in writing in Chinese correctly! This lesson series is taken directly from my Living Language Chinese Character guide, but substantially paraphrased to be shortened and more simple.
What to know before diving into learning the brushstrokes that make up a Chinese character:
Each brushstroke has a name, however the name does not influence the pronunciation of the character itself.
The two types of strokes in Chinese Characters are called basic and turning (also referred to as “combined”) strokes. Turning strokes requires the writing utensil used to be turned more than once before it is lifted off the paper.
If the strokes are not draw correctly then the character will not be legible, just like handwriting for languages like English, French, Spanish, etc.
Lesson 1 - Basic Strokes
一 :: héng 横 (left to right)
丨 :: shù 竖 (top to bottom)
丿 :: piě 撇 (top to bottom left)
丶 :: diǎn 点 (top left to bottom right or top right to bottom left)
乛 :: zhé 折 (left to right with downward hook)
Lesson 1 Quizlet Set || Mandarin Chinese Classroom (for French and English speakers)
EXAMPLES IN ACTION
example of héng in a character : 三 (sa1n (three))
example of shù (and héng) in a character: 十 (shi2 (ten))
example of piě (plus shù and héng) in a character: 千 (qia1n (thousand))
example of diǎn (plus piě, shù and héng) in a character: 玉 (yu4 (jade))
example of zhé ( plus diǎn, piě, shù and héng) in a character: 买 (ma3i (buy))
in case you forgot what the numbers after the vowels mean in the pinyin examples
A/N: I will come back to edit this as more lessons are posted so there are links to future ones. Even so, these posts will be tagged as #character strokes.
