Negative Sentences Exercises For Malay Grammar


Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks with “tidak” or “tiada” for negative expression.


Negative Sentences in Malay grammar are relatively straight-forward. The typical structure is a subject followed by “tidak” (not) before the verb. For example, “Saya tidak makan” means “I do not eat”. However, when negating existence or possession, “tiada” is used instead. For instance, “Saya tiada buku” translates to “I have no book”. This exercise will familiarize you with the use of “tidak” and “tiada” in constructing negative sentences.
