Understanding ある


This may be an easy question for the all of you.

I saw somewhere a form of ある which was written as あるな and had the same
meaning. I've only heard the form あります and that's it.

What does あるな then mean?




Most likely, あるな is simply ある (plain form of あります) with the [sentence ending
particle な](https://www.wasabi-jpn.com/japanese-grammar/advanced-sentence-
ending-particles/#1), which wouldn't noticeably change the meaning in most
cases. あるな isn't any type of form (to my knowledge).
