In Russian, when you want to say something in a negative way, like "I don't eat," it's really simple!

Here’s how it works:

1. The word for "to eat" in Russian is есть.
2. If you want to say you do not eat, just put не in front of the verb.

Example:

• Positive: Я ем. (This means "I eat.")
• Negative: Я не ем. (This means "I do not eat.")

Summary:

• To make a negative sentence, just use Я (I) + не (not) + ем (eat).

Try with other verbs:

• For "to drink" (пить): Я не пью. (This means "I do not drink.")
• For "to see" (видеть): Я не вижу. (This means "I do not see.")

Using this easy way to form sentences can help you talk about things you don’t do in everyday conversations!
