## Northern Sami
### Etymology

From Proto-Uralic negative verb stem *e- ~ *ä- ~ *a-. Cognates include Estonian ei, Finnish ei, and Skolt Sami ij.

### Pronunciation

* (Kautokeino) IPA: /ˈij/

### Verb

ii
* not

#### Usage notes

ii is a defective verb and is only inflected for person and the indicative and imperative moods. The main verb is inflected in the connegative form and contains information about tense and mood:
    Son ii dieđe.She does not know.
    Son ii diehtán.She did not know.
    Son ii dieđáše.She would not know.
When a sentence structure requires the verb to be in a different form (e.g. in the infinitive), the negator will be moved elsewhere:
    Son lohká ahte son ii dieđe.She says that she does not know.
    Son ii loga iežas diehtit.She says she does not know.(literally, “She does not say herself to know.”)

#### Inflection
### Adverb

ii
* no
