Glyph origin

 * the calyx of a flower. 不 was then composed into a phono-semantic character with the pictograph for mouth, to form , representing “no” (negation). This composed meaning then spread back to the original character 不, making it a synonym of 否. A new character of was eventually created to represent the original meaning of calyx.

Following ’s interpretation, Karlgren and Wieger interpret it as a bird flying toward the sky. The sky being the limit for the bird, thus the idea of negation.

Etymology 1
Old Chinese had two sets of negatives: the initial *p-series and the initial *m-series. 不 is the prototype of the *p-series of negatives. Although it is the usual Literary Chinese negative attested from the oracle bone script down, its current usage is now confined to Mandarin dialects. In the oracle bone inscriptions, a total of five negative particles can be found:, , , and. With the exception of (discussed later), the remaining can be neatly organised into the following system:

argued that the *m-type negatives are modal (i.e. negative verbs which are thought of as controllable by the ), whereas the *p-type negatives are non-modal (imply uncontrollability; actions which are beyond the control of living persons).

In the *p-series, 不 usually goes with intransitive verbs in the oracle bone script, and with transitive ones, although there are some glaring exceptions. Little or no pattern can be discerned in the *m-type category. also proposed that the difference between the two vowel series was whether they preceded “stative, eventive, passive” (*-V series) or “non-stative, non-eventive, active” (*-ɯd series) verbs.

It is possible that the two parallel series of negatives in Old Chinese represent a fusion of the common Sino–Tibetan (carried by the eastward-migrating early Sino–Tibetans) and an indigenous negation system in Central China, and that the merger had been complete by the  times. Compare a similar system in Proto-Tai:, , ; 🇨🇬.

The development from Old Chinese to Middle Chinese was not regular. The character 不 replaced 弗 (OC *pɯd, MC *piut), to respect the for, although the pronunciation has remained in nearly all topolects (e.g. Beijing Mandarin bù, Guangzhou Cantonese bat1, Meixian Hakka bud5, Shanghainese Wu peq). The Modern Standard Mandarin pronunciation is also from this checked coda word, but this word escaped from regular sound changes during its evolution to the modern pronunciation bù. The expected reading is fu (tone undetermined), with labiodentalisation. The rising-tone pronunciation had a Middle Chinese homophone, which is now primarily used in compounds, and demonstrates the regular development into modern f-. Another example of a high-frequency word escaping this sound change is, which resulted in the late coinage of the character.

不 is cognate with other negation particles in the *p-type category:

 * – can be safely regarded as a fusion of and ;
 * ; and
 * ; and
 * ; and

Usage notes

 * The tone changes from fourth to second tone when followed by a fourth-tone syllable.
 * The past-perfect form of 不 is or, not *不了
 * Note that the 4th sentence does not mean "I have not become a soldier". Syntactically, 不 is a verb prefix that forms a stative verb with the verb to be negated. Therefore it can not be modified by the perfective aspect marker, which modifies only dynamic verbs. When 了 appears in a 不 sentence, it usually functions as a marker of "currently relevant state" instead.
 * 不 can not be used before the verb . Use instead.
 * Incorrect:
 * *我不有手機.
 * Correct:
 * 不 can not be used before compounds beginning with 有, or another 不. Depending on the context, other negative particles must be used instead which formally contain a predicate or auxiliary, e.g.,, , imperfective , epistemic.
 * Incorrect:
 * *這個問題不不值一提.
 * Correct:
 * The verb can be elided, as in the following:

丼

Etymology 1
.

Etymology 3
Borrowed from.

Definitions

 * 1) donburi

Etymology 1

Multiple possible derivations.
 * During the Edo period, restaurants specializing in large portions were called, from + . The serving bowls were called , literally “greedy” + “in that fashion” + “bowl”. The ken portion was elided, producing donburi-bachi, and then the -hachi was dropped to produce donburi.
 * Alternatively, and perhaps more likely, donburi in reference to “a bowl filled with large amount of food” may be cognate with, an onomatopoeia of something heavy plunking into deep water, or something big and soft plopping down, related to onomatopoeia , , , and , all of generally similar meanings. The food starts with a large portion of rice, also referred to as , which could be analyzed as “plopped-down rice”.
 * Donburi is also used to refer to something “rough, approximate, not finely worked”, as in the phrase . This is consistent with a derivation from the onomatopoeia, but not from the restaurant terms.

The kanji spelling shows with a dot in the center, possibly indicating something thrown into the well. This could suggest that the 🇨🇬 reading tom$X$ may similarly derive from onomatopoeia.

Noun

 * 1) a simple large bowl for serving food
 * 2) a one-bowl meal served in a donburi bowl, consisting of a large portion of rice, covered in a meat or fish

Usage notes
To disambiguate, speakers may refer more specifically to donburibachi for the bowl, and donburi mono for the food.

English-language sources often refer to the food as similar to stew served over rice. Note, however, that stews consist of meat, fish, and/or vegetables cooked in a liquid and served with the sauce, whereas donburi toppings may be relatively dry, as in tempura donburi or beef donburi, or even uncooked, as in tekkadon (tuna sashimi donburi).

Synonyms

Derived terms

 * : a large helping of rice served in a donburi bowl

Etymology 2
Abbreviation of donburi above.

Pronunciation

 * When used as a suffix, the resulting term has a or type 0 pitch accent pattern.

Noun

 * 1) donburi: a one-bowl meal consisting of a large portion of rice, covered in a meat or fish

 * 1)  this; these

Usage notes
Remember that Chinese grammar is more about reducing ambiguity and less about following rules. The other meanings of this word all stem from the 3rd pronoun and demonstrative meaning (except the "to go" meaning which is unrelated). It roughly means "him, it, this" > "his, its" > "'s"/qualifier. Compare > Min Nan possessive 個.

Juxtaposition alone can indicate possession or qualification in Chinese even without this word. The actual purpose of this word is to act like a comma to group the words before it as a noun clause and prevent what comes after from being interpreted as the object of a verb. Consider "上山道" whence "上之山道" (mountain road that is up there) and "上山之道" (road for climbing a mountain). Like, unambiguous and popular compounds like drop the. Other grammatical characters also work by enforcing a grouping of words. Modern Chinese fossilizes this word and uses instead, which originated from either 之 or, and took on the "'s"/qualifier meaning.

as a pronoun, functions like a noun determiner while is a verb determiner. Consider "食此藥！若不食之, 將死" which would mean "Eat this medicine! If you don't [eat] this (like if you eat some other medicine), you'll die" and contrast "食此藥！不然(=若不食), 將死" which would mean "Eat this medicine! If you don't do this (or if you do something else), you'll die."
