Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This particle denotes 'no'. It may also express 'no, there are none' or 'no, it is not there'. See also {aap} regarding how to reply to negative questions, since this works opposite to how such questions are answered in English. Note that it is sometimes considered less formal than {naagga}.
