않다 vs 없다?
않다 vs 없다? I know what it means kinda, but not totally.... i know 하다 and 있다 is the positive of those words. but its hard to remember the difference.... i am really bad at these korean words :/

Question

Answer

않다 is a short form of "아니하다"
It always used as "~지 않다" after a verb or adjective and it means "not"

ex)
먹다(eat) => 먹지 않다(don't eat)
조용하다(silent) => 조용하지 않다(not silent)

없다 is antonym of 있다.
It means "not exist,not have"

ex)
재미있다(interesting) => 재미없다(uninteresting)
그는 지금 한국에 있다 He is in Korea right now.
그는 지금 한국에 없다 He is not in Korea right now.
할 일이 있다 I have something to do.
할 일이 없다 I have nothing to do.

있지 않다 = 없다
없지 않다 = 있다.
