NINGUNO Adjetivo ► Se traduce por any si el verbo va en forma negativa y por no si el verbo va en forma afirmativa.

* * *

nessuno

/nes'suno/

Nessuno in italiano, e i suoi equivalenti inglesi, possono essere usati come aggettivi oppure come pronomi. - Come aggettivo, nessuno si rende con no ( nessuna speranza = no hope), e con any in una frase già negativa ( non fa mai nessun errore = she never makes any mistakes) o in frase interrogativa dove nessuno ha in realtà valore positivo (nessun'idea? = qualche idea? = any ideas?). - Più numerosi sono i traducenti inglesi del pronome nessuno, poiché, oltre a nobody e al suo sinonimo no-one ( non è venuto nessuno = nobody / no-one came), si usano: anybody o anyone, se c'è già un'altra negazione ( non parlo mai con nessuno = I never talk to anybody) o in frase interrogativa dove nessuno ha in realtà valore positivo (ho dimenticato nessuno? = ho dimenticato qualcuno? = have I forgotten anybody?); none, se nessuno ha valore partitivo e relativo, non assoluto: "questi sono i miei compagni di classe" "non ne conosco nessuno" = "these are my classmates" "I know none (of them)"; "ci sono delle auto in strada?" "nessuna" = "are there any cars in the street?" "none"; any, al posto di none in presenza di un'altra negazione: non conosco nessuno dei tuoi compagni = I don't know any of your classmates; neither, se nessuno si riferisce a due cose o persone: l'ho chiesto a entrambe, ma nessuna ha risposto = I asked them both, but neither answered; either, al posto di neither in presenza di un'altra negazione: non ho mai conosciuto nessuna (delle due) = I've never met either.

I aggettivo indefinito
