notnon ho fratelli I don't have any brothers, I have no brothersnon ancora not yetnon che io non voglia not that I don't want tonon cedibile not transferable, non-transferable* * *non avv.1 (come negazione di un v.) not ( spesso contratto in n't con ausiliari o 'modal verbs'): non è vecchio, he isn't old; non era vero, it wasn't true; non sarà facile, it won't be easy; la questione non è stata risolta, the problem has not been solved; non ha amici, he hasn't any friends (o he has no friends); non avevamo soldi, we didn't have any money (o we had no money); non è venuto, he didn't come; non abbiamo ancora deciso, we haven't decided yet; non posso farlo, I can't do it; non potresti passare più tardi?, couldn't you call later?; non dovete cedere, you mustn't give in; non avrebbe dovuto accettare, he shouldn't have accepted; non oso telefonargli, I daren't phone him; non volete riposarvi un po'?, don't you want to rest a while?; non permetterò che la trattino in quel modo, I won't let them treat her like that; non dirlo, don't say it; non parliamone, let's not talk about it; non lavora in quella ditta, he doesn't work for that firm; non hanno voluto ascoltarmi, they wouldn't listen to me; non parlò per tutto il giorno, he did not speak all day; è meglio non indagare, we'd better not go into it; non vedendolo arrivare, cominciai a preoccuparmi, not seeing him arrive, I began to get worried // In frasi negative, come rafforzativo di un'altra negazione: non c'era nessuno, there wasn't anybody; non so nulla, I don't know anything; non hanno avuto nessuna notizia, they haven't had any news; non ne ho parlato con nessuno, I haven't spoken to anyone about it; non ha bevuto niente, he didn't drink anything; non disse neanche una parola, he didn't say a word; non ci credo affatto, I don't believe a word of it; non gliene importava niente, it didn't matter to him at all; non è mica vero!, it's not true at all!; non ci capisco un'acca!, I can't understand a word!; non vado mai a teatro, I never go to the theatre; non l'ho mai visto, I've never seen him; non era mai stato così felice, he had never been so happy ∙ Come si nota dagli esempi, l'avv. not non si usa in ingl. in presenza di un'altra negazione2 (in frasi interrogative, per lo più retoriche): non l'avevi detto proprio tu?, wasn't it you who said it?; chi non accetterebbe una simile proposta?, who wouldn't accept such an offer?; non avresti dovuto partire stasera?, shouldn't you have left this evening?; mi chiedo se non sarebbe stato meglio rinunciare, I wonder whether it wouldn't have been better to give up3 (come negazione di un agg. o avv. per affermare un concetto negandone l'opposto): non è improbabile, it's possible; è un'impresa non facile, it's a hard task; un uomo non privo di talento, a man not without talent; ha lavorato non poco per farsi una posizione, he worked hard to get on; non pochi la pensano come me, lots of people think the way I do; non sarà male ripeterlo, it won't do any harm to repeat it; non sempre si può fare quello che si vuole, you can't always do as you like; non senza fatica, not without effort; non del tutto, non completamente, not completely ∙ Come si nota dagli esempi, in questo caso la negazione è spesso espressa usando l'agg. o l'avv. di significato opposto4 (seguito da un compar.) no, not: doveva avere non più di vent'anni, he couldn't have been more than twenty; saranno stati non meno di mille, there must have been no fewer than a thousand; non più tardi di ieri, no later than yesterday; arriveremo non prima delle otto, we shall arrive not before eight o'clock; non oltre il 15 di questo mese, no later than the 15th of this month; un pesciolino non più grosso del mio mignolo, a fish no bigger than my little finger; una cifra non inferiore al milione, a figure no less than a million; un locale non più grande di questa stanza, a place no bigger than this room5 ( nelle contrapposizioni) not: non è bello, ma è simpatico, he isn't good-looking, but he's nice; non tu, ma lui avrebbe dovuto pensarci, you shouldn't have had to think of it, he should; dovete presentarvi domani, non oggi, you have to go there tomorrow, not today; è un problema mio, non tuo, it's my problem, not yours6 (con uso pleonastico; in ingl. non si traduce): non appena mi vide, mi corse incontro, as soon as he saw me, he ran to meet me; è più facile di quanto non si creda, it's easier than you think; poco mancò che non ci cascassi anch'io, I nearly fell for it too; ti aspetterò finché non arriverai, I'll wait for you to arrive; a meno che tu non voglia ripensarci..., unless you want to think it over... // in men che non si dica, in less than no time // In frasi esclamative: le bugie che non mi ha raccontato!, the lies he told me!; quanto non ho fatto per lui!, what I've done for him!◆ FRASEOLOGIA: dottore o non dottore, è un ignorante, he's an ignoramus, whether he's got a degree or not // non che io ci creda, ma..., not that I believe it, but... // che è che non è, all of a sudden // non c'è di che, ( formula di cortesia in risposta a un ringraziamento) not at all, you're welcome.* * *[non]1. avv1) notnon sono inglesi — they are not o aren't English

Note:Generalmente, l'avverbio non ha il suo equivalente diretto nell'inglese not. Si ricordi tuttavia che la frase inglese non ammette una doppia negazione, e che quindi non può essere assorbito da un pronome o da un avverbio negativo: non mi conosce nessuno = nobody knows me; non ci vediamo mai = we never meet. A sua volta, diversamente dall'italiano, l'uso di not in frase negativa impone l'uso di un ausiliare se già non ne è presente uno nella frase. - La forma contratta di not, ossia n't, si lega al verbo ausiliare precedente: non l'ho vista = I haven't seen her; non è qui = she isn't here; non è potuta venire = she couldn't come; si ricordino le particolari forme contratte negative di will, shall e can, cioè won't, shan't e can't. Tutte queste forme contratte si usano solo nella lingua parlata e familiare. - Si noti, infine, l'accezione 3 sotto, che mostra come il negativo non davanti ad aggettivi o avverbi può essere reso in inglese mediante un prefisso di valore negativo* * *non/non/Generalmente, l'avverbio non ha il suo equivalente diretto nell'inglese not.

¿To see, to watch o to look?
Los tres verbos reflejan tres conceptos muy distintos. To see hace referencia a la capacidad visual y no es fruto de una acción deliberada. A menudo se usa con can o could: I can see the mountains from my bedroom. Puedo ver las montañas desde mi dormitorio.
To look at implica una acción deliberada: I saw an old atlas, so I opened it and looked at the maps. Vi un atlas antiguo, así que lo abrí y miré los mapas.
To watch también se refiere a una acción deliberada, a menudo cuando se tiene un interés especial por lo que ocurre: I watched the planes in the sky with great interest. Miraba los aviones en el cielo con gran interés. Igualmente puede indicar el paso del tiempo (we watched the animals playing for half an hour, durante media hora observamos cómo jugaban los animales), movimiento (they stood there watching the cars drive off into the distance, se quedaron allí de pie viendo cómo se marchaban los coches) o vigilancia (the policemen have been watching this house because they thought we were thieves, los policías estaban vigilando la casa porque pensaban que éramos ladrones).
Para hablar de películas u obras de teatro usamos to see: Have you seen Hamlet?, ¿Has visto Hamlet? To watch se refiere a la televisión y los deportes en general: I always watch the television in the evening. Siempre veo la televisión por las noches. I like to watch football. Me gusta ver el fútbol. Al hablar de programas o partidos específicos podemos usar tanto to watch como to see: I like to see/watch the news at 9:00. Me gusta ver las noticias a las 9.00. Did you see/watch the match last night?, ¿Viste el partido anoche?
