Question about Japanese
Can I use the 「ん/ぬ/ず」negatives with 「で」for the Negative Request? For example, could I say「食べんで/食べぬで/食べずで」?

食べんで/これでは方言です。田舎の人に「そんなに食べんで大丈夫か?」Are you ok? you have had nothing.と言われる事はあると思います。
→「食べないで」
食べぬで/これも不自然です。
食べずで/"食べずに"ならokです。例えば「何も食べずに歩き続けた。」I kept on walking without eating anything.

For the negative request, you should use 食べないで, 食べるな or 食べぬように. It is never used 食べんで, 食べぬで nor 食べずで.
