How to say "it's not" (in japanese)



i learned another simple grammar in japanese.. xD

since 'desu' means 'it is',
'dewa arrimasen' or 'janai desu' is used as 'it is not'. They both have the same meaning, but 'dewa arrimasen' is more formal... oh yeahh.. lmao

example:
>neko dewa arrimasen or neko janai desu = it's not a cat.
>inu dewa arrimasen or inu janai desu = it's not a dog.
>yuki-san janai desu = i'm not yuki.

since i'm not yuki, i have to put the suffix '-san' at the end of  the name...

 (>_<)~uwaaaahh! nihonggo o narau  suki desu... xD
