Negation in Bodo

There are two ways of negation in Bodo ------- using 'aa' and using 'daa'

'Da' is equivalent to english 'don't '. So if you say 'don't go' in English, you say ' dathang' in Bodo, where 'thang' means 'go'.

The 'aa' is a suffix used in Bodo to negate the action of doing something. For example, 'ang thanga' means 'i am not going' (literally i no go).
