Do not take in Japanese 🇯🇵

とらない info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– The word 'とらない' (toranai) comes from the verb 'とる' (toru), which means 'to take.' Adding 'ない' (nai) to the verb stem makes it negative, meaning 'do not take.'
– Remember 'とる' (toru) can be thought of like 'To-ru' as in 'To-rent,' remember renting involves taking something.
– 'ない' (nai) is a common way to negate verbs in Japanese, so adding it to 'とる' (toru) makes it 'do not take.'

Explanations:
– 'とらない' (toranai) is the negative form of the verb 'とる' (toru).
– 'とる' (toru): To take.
– 'とらない' (toranai): Do not take.
