Affirming negative. A negation which when expressed in words negates its specific object of negation and directly or indirectly implies the existence of another affirming (non-negative) phenomena, e.g. the statement, 'Rani does not sleep during the day,' which indirectly implies that she sleeps during "the night. There are three types:\n1. {chos gzhan dngos su 'phen pa'i ma yin dgag} directly affirming negative\n2. {chos gzhan shugs la 'phen pa'i ma yin dgag} indirectly affirming negative\n3. {skabs stobs kyis 'phen pa'i ma yin dgag} circumstantially affirming negative.
