See Negative paradigms for the full attested range of subject-object agreement paradigms with negation.
Verbal negation
This basic paradigm should be moved to the main page, with more involved paradigms and discussion of, e.g., underlying form of negation on this page. Also, what is the meaning of the forms below? Please include the plural forms with roots.
Also, isn't the negative sometimes realized as -eer? When?
- final -ee is interchangeable with -eer, with the latter being seen as archaic. Elsewhere, more examination needed. Faytak 22:28, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
V negation is (in our data so far) most frequently expressed as part of a polyexponent verbal suffix. Verbal negation does not seem separable syntactically from TAM marking. An example:
| Gloss | Sereer | Gloss | Sereer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1SG | -im | 1PL | i-[mut]-ee |
| 2SG | -iro | 2PL | nu-[mut]-ee |
| 3SG | -ee | 3PL | [mut]-ee |
A distinctly inflected negative imperative also exists; see the notes on this under Imperatives and Hortatives.
