P.S.
I think russian style of particle "не" is much more linear, but flexible than english one.
"Не я не видел не закат". How it will be in english?
P.P.S.
"It is not me who didn't see thing which is not sunset"?

The problem with "not" in English, is that it comes from germanic languages, where the word "not" goes AFTER the thing it modifies. "I think not.". For whatever reason, the phrasing using "do not" became vastly more popular for negative sentences, and people began to believe that the word goes before what it modifies. So we have both systems. Which is broken.
