The negative for this aspectual marker is usually the simple negative form of the corresponding tense, and the suffix விடு will not be used in it. So, the negative of பார்த்துவிட்டேன் 'I saw it' would be பார்க்கவில்லை but not பார்த்துவிடவில்லை. Even though the form பர்த்துவிடவில்லை is not ungrammatical, it is not commonly used.

What does the structure AVP-விட்டு, mean?
|
'After having done AVP.' This differs, however, from the simple AVP in that the meaning of simultaneity of the actions is not available. Moreover, while with the simple AVP the causal relatedness of all the events/actions being denoted is expressed, when விட்டு is attached the implication of every previous AVP being a prerequisite for the subsequent is not expressed. Rather, the events simply occured in temporal sequence without any necessary logical connection to each other.
