Do not become in Japanese 🇯🇵

ならない info.

Tips to Remember the Japanese Word "ならない":
– Think of "nara" (sounds like a place in Japan, Nara) and "nai" (which is a common negative ending in Japanese). Together they form "ならない" which means "do not become" or "will not become."

Explanations:
– "ならない" is the negative form of the verb "なる" (naru), which means "to become."
– "なる" + "ない" (nai) results in "ならない," which negates the verb, meaning "will not become" or "do not become."
– It is often used to indicate a state that should not come to pass or an action that should not be taken.

Other Words that Mean the Same Thing:
– "ならぬ" (naranu) – An older or more formal version of "ならない."
– "ならん" (naran) – Colloquial or regional variation.

Conjugations:
– Infinitive: なる (naru) – to become
– Negative Present: ならない (naranai) – do not become / will not become

*Note: In Japanese, mainly the present (non-past) and past forms are commonly used. The verb "なる" itself doesn't have a specific future tense form as future context is inferred from the present tense or additional context. The non-past form covers both present and future meanings.*

– Negative Past: ならなかった (naranakatta) – did not become
– Negative Present Continuous: ならなくている (naranakute iru) – am not becoming
– Negative Imperative: ならないで (naranaide) – do not become (used in commands)
