کچھ بھی نہیں

Nothing at All

Level 2

Rule out any thing or amount in the relevant situation.

How It Works

The surrounding sentence can describe an empty place, an absent purchase or no available information. It supplies what sort of thing is being ruled out.

In a past sentence, the verb, including a form of to be, still supplies the time. Compare nothing now with nothing earlier rather than translating the phrase as a fixed tense.

Word order varies with emphasis. Keep the negative with the predicate and do not translate it as an extra positive also.

Examples (4)

  1. اس تھیلے میں کچھ بھی نہیں ہے۔

    There is nothing at all in this bag.

    The negative describes the bag’s contents.

  2. میں نے کچھ بھی نہیں خریدا۔

    I did not buy anything.

    The completed event has a negative predicate.

  3. اس ڈبے میں کچھ بھی نہیں تھا۔

    There was nothing at all in that box.

    تھا places the absence in the past.

  4. مجھے کچھ بھی معلوم نہیں۔

    I do not know anything at all.

    The negation covers the available knowledge.
