Difference between δεν and μην?

  What is the difference between “μην”, “μη”, “δεν” and “δε”? I really need help with this if you have time.

  Hi.

“μην” and “μη” are used with subjunctive and imperative moods, while “δεν” and “δε” are used with indicative mood.

The final ν doesn't affect the meaning, it's dropped when the phrase sounds better without it.
