How do you negate a noun & a verb?
main thing: BUKAN negates the noun that comes right after it; TIDAK negates everything else.
“I am not a Japanese person.” = “Saya bukan orang Jepang.”
BECAUSE: the thing being negated is “orang Jepang,” and “orang” is a NOUN.
“I do not live in Japan.” = “Saya tidak tinggal di Jepang.”
BECAUSE: the thing being negated is “tinggal di Jepang,” and “tinggal” is NOT A NOUN.
