What is no in spanish?

Here's some information about the Spanish word "no":

"No" in Spanish directly translates to "no" in English. It's a fundamental word used for negation.

• Basic Negation: The most common use is to simply negate a statement. For example, "No quiero" means "I don't want." Learn more about basic negation.

• Answering Questions: It's used to answer yes/no questions in the negative. If someone asks "¿Quieres comer?" (Do you want to eat?) you can reply with "No."

• Placement: In Spanish, "no" typically comes before the verb it negates. For instance, "Yo no hablo español" means "I don't speak Spanish." Further information can be found on no placement.

• Double Negatives: While double negatives are generally incorrect in English, they can occur in Spanish when using certain negative words like nada (nothing), nunca (never), or nadie (nobody). For example, "No quiero nada" (I don't want anything), although a literal translation would be "I don't want nothing." See more on double negatives.

• Emphasis: "No" can be repeated for emphasis. For example, "¡No, no, no quiero!" means "No, no, I don't want to!". Find out how to use "no" for emphasis.
