Adverb (Particle)

ne

1. not

Verb

ne

1. to not do, to refrain from, don’t

   This is a prohibitive (bzw. negative imperative) verb, a bit like Welsh peidio or Chinese 別 (bié). When using ne as a verb outside of the imperative, it is recommended to use the nominal form of the verb as a direct object to avoid confusing the negative ne derte ‘not doing’ with ne na dertacu ‘refusing to do’.
