[a-ni-e-yo] = to be not, it is not, you are not ???? [a-ni-e-yo] is the present tense form in the formal language of the verb ??? (to be not). So ???? [a-ni-e-yo] means “It’s not.” “I am not.” “You’re not.” “He/she is not.” and etc. Whenever you want to say that something is NOT something, you can say a subject and ???? [a-ni-e-yo]. NOUN + ???? = TO BE NOT + NOUN Example: ? ????. [jeo a-ni-e-yo] = It’s not me. ?? ????. [u-yu a-ni-e-yo] = It’s not milk. ? ????. [mul a-ni-e-yo] = It’s not water. If you want to say “This is not milk.” “I am not a student.” “That’s not a park.” and etc, you can add a word at the beginning of the sentence. milk = ?? [u-yu] not milk = ?? ????. [u-yu a-ni-e-yo] This is not milk. = ?? ?? ????. [i-geo u-yu a-ni-e-yo] student = ?? [hak-saeng] not a student = ?? ???? [hak-saeng a-ni-e-yo] I am not a student. = ? ?? ????.
