<div class='writeup-body'>Replacing ない, the <span class='info-highlight' data-term='助動詞・じょどうし'>auxiliary verb</span> in standard Japanese that negates verbs, is <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='971'>へん</span> in 関西弁（かんさいべん）. <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='971'>へん</span> conjugates in the same way as ない, meaning that it connects to the <span class='info-highlight' data-term='連用形・れんようけい'>conjunctive form</span> of verbs.
