To make a negative sentence
To make a negative sentence in Russian we need one simple word "не" that can be placed before any verb in the sentence we like.
Moreover, in a Russian sentence there is no limit on the number of negative words. Thus, it is absolutely possible to say "никто ничего никогда никому не сможет сказать" (No one can ever tell anyone).
Examples
- Я люблю пиццу — Я не люблю пиццу.
(I like pizza — I don't like pizza). - Он знает всё — Он ничего не знает.
(He knows everything — He knows nothing). - Мы станем учителями — Мы никогда не станем учителями.
(We will become teachers — We will never become teachers).
