brinshannaraIs it just me, or is the negative really easy in virtually every language?
"They eat too much." becomes "They don't eat too much."
"Ils mangent trop." becomes "Ils ne mangent pas trop."
"Loro mangiano troppo." becomes "Loro non mangiano troppo."
French gets a bit tricky, because you have to have ne ... pas in there somewhere, or something along those lines, but Italian's much easier, a lot like English, where you just stick in the negative before the verb.
Back to studying.
