In the UFOSAT conlang to form a NEGATIVE SENTENCE all you have to do is insert the particle (adverb) ‘uxe‘ anywhere in the sentence.
For instance:
- He did not want to go home = Uxe idid dre vi bri ce doko
- You are not happy = Eco uxe cili
That’s all there is to know as to building negative sentences in UFOSAT.

In the UFOSAT conlang the term for ‘yes’ is ‘aq‘, while to say ‘no’ you use ‘ux‘.
For instance:
- Do you want to go home? Yes, I do = El eco vi bri ce doko? Aq
- Do you want to go home? No, I don’t = El eco vi bri ce doko? Ux
As it is commom in UFOSAT, from ‘aq’ and ‘ux’ you can ‘automatically’ derive many other words:
For example:
- aqi = to say yes, to consent, to agree
- aqa = affirmative
- aqe = in an affirmative / consenting way
- aqalo = a person that says yes / that consents / that agrees
- aq(al)id = a male person that says yes / that consents / that agrees
- aq(al)is = a female person that says yes / that consents / that agrees
- uxi = to say no, to deny, to refuse, to negate, to disagree
- uxa = negative, in the negative, disagreeing, etc
- uxe = in a denying / refusing / negating / negative / disagreeing way
- uxalo = a person that says no / that denies / disagrees /etc
- ux(al)id = a male person that says no / that denies / disagrees /etc
- ux(al)is = a female person that says no / that denies / disagrees /etc
… and so on.

In a previous post we have seen that in the UFOSAT conlang the main cardinal numbers are:
- 0 = bak (zero)
- 1 = cek (one)
- 2 = dik (two)
- 3 = fok (three)
- 4 = guk (four)
- 5 = jak (five)
- 6 = kek (six)
- 7 = lik (seven)
- 8 = mok (eight)
- 9 = nuk (nine)
- 10 = pak (ten)
- 100 = qek (a hundred)
- 1,000 = rik (a thousand)
- 1,000,000 = sok (one million)
- 1,000,000,000 = tuk (one billion)
To get the corresponding ordinal numbers it is sufficient adding to them the adjective typical ending, i.e. ‘-a’. So we have:
- ceka = first
- dika = second
- foka = third
- guka = fourth
- jaka = fifth
- keka = sixth
- lika = seventh
- moka = eighth
- nuka = ninth
- paka = tenth
… and so on.
