Kinda new to this and i'm confused regarding verb variations such as this.

From what I understand aruku and arukimasu are the same just the latter is
more polite while arukimasen is more the opposite like 'I dont want to walk'

question
verbs
Difference between aruku, arukimasu and arukimasen and such
歩{ある}く (aruku) walk, dictionary form

歩{ある}かない (arukanai) not walk, dictionary form

歩{ある}きます (arukimasu) walk, -masu form

歩{ある}きません (arukimasen) not walk, -masu form

In conversational setting, the -masu verb is indeed the polite form.

To "not like to walk" is actually 歩{ある}きたくない (arukitakunai).
