Do not write in Japanese 🇯🇵

かかない info.

かかない (kakanai)

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– Break it down: "か" (ka) + "か" (ka) + "ない" (nai). "Ka" is the root of the verb "to write" (書く, かく, kaku), and "nai" is a common negation particle meaning "not."
– Associate "nai" with negation: "nai" is often used to indicate a negative form, similar to adding "not" in English.

Explanations:
– かかない is the negative form of 書く (かく, kaku), meaning "to write." Therefore, かかない means "do not write" or "will not write."

Other words that mean the same thing:
– 書きません (かきません, kakimasen) – This is the more formal way to say "do not write."

Conjugations:
– Infinitive: 書く (かく, kaku) – to write
– Present: 書かない (かかない, kakanai) – do not write/will not write
– Past: 書かなかった (かかなかった, kakanakatta) – did not write
– Future: In Japanese, the present negative form かかない can also imply future negation based on context.
– Te-form: 書かなくて (かかなくて, kakanakute) – not writing (used to link sentences)
– Conditional: 書かなければ (かかなければ, kakanakereba) – if don't write
