Note:When the pronoun nobody is the subject or object of a verb, Italian usually requires non before the verb (or auxiliary): nobody loves him = non lo ama nessuno / nessuno lo ama; I heard nobody = non ho sentito nessuno. - Nobody is the negative equivalent of somebody: somebody helped me = mi ha aiutato qualcuno is the opposite of nobody helped me = non mi ha aiutato nessuno. As it is a negative pronoun, nobody can not be used in a sentence where another negative form, such as not or never, is present; in these cases, anybody is used instead: I never meet anybody on my way from work = non incontro mai nessuno tornando a casa dal lavoro. - For examples and particular usages, see the entry below* * *pronoun (no person; no-one: Nobody likes him.) nessuno* * *['nəʊbədɪ] 1. 2.••••to work like nobody's business — BE colloq. lavorare come un pazzo
