There are three ways that I know of to create a negative adjective out of a positive one.
1. Add -siz to the end = without
2. Write it as gerund using -mayan = not being.
3. Add na- to the beginning.
This post will look at the last way. While it seems to me that you can add -siz to just about any adjective in Azerbaijani, na- can only be added to some. However, it is a good way to increase your word power because it is so easy to use. Here is a list of all of the words with na- that I have been able to find.
