Did you know that we use double negation in Russian? We use both a negative pronoun and the negative particle before the verb.
For example,
- Я ничего не знаю. I don’t know anything. Literally: “I know nothing”.
- Сергей никуда не поехал. Sergey didn’t go anywhere. Literally: “Sergey went nowhere”.
- Они никогда не были в Испании. They have never been to Spain.
- Мы нигде не можем найти ключи. We can’t find the keys anywhere. Literally: “We can find the keys nowhere”.
