Today I'll share with you some ways to say no that will come in handy if you know the difference.
Stay with me till the end of this chapter :)
1. 没有 (méiyŏu)
&
2. 不 (bù)
Both of this means 'Not'
But... put in different circumstances and sentences intents, it will be different.
Let's dive into the rules and example to clear it up for you. :)
***
Some rules you need to remember beforehand:
• 没有 can never used with ‘是’
• 不 + 是 = means 'not'
• 没有 can means 'don't have' or 'not' depending on the context
• 不 is used for present and future tense, while 没有 is used for past tense and past perfect.
Example:
1. 我没有时间。
Wǒ méiyǒu shíjiān
I don't have time
°
2. 我没空。
Wǒ méi kōng.
I'm busy / I'm not available.
°
3. 我没有去。
Wǒ méiyǒu qù.
I didn't go.

4. 我没去过英国。
Wǒ méi qùguò yīng guó
I haven't been to England.
°
5. 我不去了。
Wǒ bù qùle
I'm not going.
°
6. 他现在不在。
Tā xiànzài bùzài
He's not 'here'/ He's not home.
°
7. 她不喝酒。
Tā bù hējiǔ
She don't drink beer.
°
8. 我弟弟不是十二岁。
Wǒ dìdì bùshì shí'èr shǎo
My brother is not twelve years old.

9. 今天不是九月十号。
