To not make (polite) in Korean 🇰🇷

안 만들어요 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Recognize that “안” means “not” in Korean and it always comes before the verb.
• “만들다” means “to make.” When you add the polite ending “-어요” to the stem “만들-,” you get “만들어요” (make).
• Combining “안” and “만들어요” gives “안 만들어요,” which means “do not make.”

Explanations:
• “안 만들어요” is the polite present-negative form of the verb “만들다.”
• The structure is: 안 (not) + verb in polite form.
• An alternative negative form uses “-지 않아요,” as in “만들지 않아요.”

Synonyms/Alternative Expressions:
• 만들지 않아요 – another way to say “do not make” in a polite form.
• (In other contexts, one might also use phrases describing the lack of creation, but 만들지 않아요 is the most common alternative.)
