不 bù not

源How it came to be

The old dictionary reads it as a bird flying up and not coming back: the sky line with the flight trailing under it. What is above is out of reach.

用用法

• The everyday not - 不去 (bú qù) won't go, 不好 (bù hǎo) not good, 不是 (bú shì) isn't.
• For didn't / hasn't with a real past action, switch to 没 (méi): 没去 didn't go, not 不去.
• Tone sandhi: 不 becomes bú before a 4th-tone syllable - 不是 (bú shì), 不要 (bú yào).
