Negative
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Negative is a word that has at least three separate meanings.
If a person or a company has negative net worth, this means that the money they owe to others is more than the money and other things they have or are going to get.
- Some people also use negative the same way as "no", or other related words. "Not", "Never", "Nowhere" etc. are all negative words. On two-way radios the work "negative" is used instead of "no" to be clearer (see: affirmative).
- In film photography, a negative is exposed picture or movie film that has been processed, and is ready to be used to make a print. In a negative, everything in the picture has the opposite color. Things that are white will be black, things that are red will be green, things that are orange will be blue.
