As calixa pointed out above it's the same in Chinese and Vietnamese. What's funny in Chinese is that when people study it, they desperately want a word for 'no', so will usually say 'bu' which basically just means 'not'.
对(correct), 不对(not correct) 是 (am, are, is), 不是 (am not, are not is not) 有 (have), 没有 (have not) 知道 (know), 不知道 (don't know)
etc. Chinese is handy as well because it doesn't have conjugation of verbs :D
