All the data come from field recordings (a corpus of spontaneous speech and elicitations) from the last decade. The paper follows standards used in the volume "Miestamo, Matti; Tamm, Anne; Wagner-Nagy, Beáta (eds.) Negation in Uralic Languages. John Benjamins, 2015". In Ingrian, the person and number of the negative construction is expressed by the negative auxiliary verb, while the lexical verb expresses tense and mood characteristics. Ingrian prohibitive shows asymmetry in the formation of singular and plural forms: the plural forms take the infinitive of the lexical verb. The article analyses different aspects of negation, including a specific system of negative pronouns, and the use of the abessive suffix only in verbal forms.
