As you can see, there's more than one way to negate something. Well it's hard for me to know if the rule is the same, given that I don't really know what the rule is in either! As per my previous comment I can tell you what sounds right, but I can't tell you why.
- yorwba 7y agoThe explanation for Cantonese in that Wikipedia article could be used just as well for Mandarin by simply replacing 唔→不, 冇→没, 唔好→不要, 咪→别,咗→了 ... so the rules are pretty much the same, they're just instantiated with different vocabulary.
