''No, never''; avete mai sentito parlare di lui?, have you ever heard talk of him?; potrai mai perdonarmi?, will you ever be able to forgive me?; non so se sia mai stato all'estero, I don't know whether he's ever been abroad (or not); ti sei mai chiesto il perché di un simile gesto?, have you ever wondered why he did that? // dove mai?, where on earth?; wherever?: mi domando dove mai può essersi cacciato, I wonder where on earth he can have got to // quando mai?, whenever?: quando mai hai sentito questo?, whenever did you hear that? // chi mai?, who on earth?; whoever?: chi mai poteva essere?, whoever could it have been? // che (cosa) mai...?, what on earth...? whatever...?: che mai hai combinato?, what on earth have you been up to?; non so proprio che cosa mai vi siate messi in testa, I don't know what on earth got into your heads; che mai stai cercando di dirmi?, whatever are you trying to tell me? // come mai?, why?; how come?; whyever?: come mai non va l'ascensore?, how come the lift isn't working?; come mai non ci avete pensato prima?, whyever didn't you think of it before? // se mai, caso mai, if (o if ever o in case): se mai dovessi incontrarla..., if ever you should meet her...; se avessi mai pensato..., if I had ever thought...; caso mai tornasse, mandalo da me, if he happens to come back, send him to me; prendete l'ombrello, caso mai piovesse, take an umbrella in case it rains

Note:

Mai si traduce in inglese con never oppure ever. Never concentra in sé il valore negativo della frase, e quindi esclude l'uso di altri negativi (diversamente dal mai italiano): non ho mai visto nessuno mangiare così! = I never saw anybody eating like that! Never precede il verbo quando questo è in forma semplice (tranne to be) e segue il primo ausiliare quando il verbo è composto: non mangia mai abbastanza = she never eats enough; non è mai stanca = she is never tired; non l'ho mai incontrato = I've never met him. Ever si usa in quattro casi: al posto di never, quando si deve o si vuole mantenere un'altra forma negativa nella frase (non farlo mai più! = don't you ever do that again!); quando mai ha valore positivo e significa qualche volta (sei mai stato a Londra? = have you ever been to London?); dopo un comparativo ( più magro che mai = thinner than ever); infine, nel linguaggio parlato, ever segue e rafforza never (non glielo dirò mai! = I'll never ever tell him!)
