In Fang, a basic sentence is formed by combining a subject and a verb.'I eat' is Ma djí, the subject is Ma = 'I', the verb is DJí= 'Eat'.
Explanation
To make that same sentence negative , 'I do not eat', we say Maá djí, to turn a sentence into negative, in Fang we add á at the end of the pronoun, now by changing the positive pronoun Ma which means 'I', to Maá, wich means 'I do not' makes the next verb negative, and djí means 'Eat'.
