Where to put the word 'not' in a sentence?

In Korean: 'an' = 'not' (I would use actual Korean letters but it won't let me copy and paste the letter n without the letter I which would be no in Korean when paired with the letter a, so annoying if you're following me)

But where does 'an' go in a sentence? E.g. This is a woman - I neun yeoja ida (where would I place 'an' to say 'this is not a woman'?)

Update:

No no no I'm not learning English I learning Korean! I want to know where the word 'an' goes in the Korean sentence 'I neun yeoja ida' (This is a woman) to make it 'This is not a woman'.

    It goes in front of the action showing verb in frint of "ida" so your negative sentence will be "I neun yeoja anida"

    Your sentence is correct. This is not a woman. I am not at home. We often use a contraction; for example: "Can't we keep playing longer?" Instead of " can we not keep playing longer?" or 'Don't you want to come with me" instead of "Do you not want to come with me?" I hope this helps.
