Negative sentences in Azerbaijani grammar are used to express negation, denial, or refusal. They’re formed by adding the negative particle “yox” before the verb. Unlike English, Azerbaijani doesn’t require the use of “don’t” or “not.” Instead, the negative particle “yox” is sufficient to convey the required meaning.
