when you square root a number, will the answer ever be negitave?

for instance, would $${\sqrt{}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{4}}$$=-2

When you square root a negative number you get an imaginary number.

You probably don't know about those so you cannot square root a negative number - there are no REAL solutions.
