The 'Не' Rule

Always check for 'не' before the verb if you see 'никой' or 'нищо'.
⚠️

Don't skip 'не'

Skipping 'не' makes the sentence sound like a positive statement, which is the opposite of what you want!
🎯

Object vs Subject

If the person is the object of the action, use 'никого'.
💬

Be Direct

Using 'нищо' is perfectly polite in Bulgarian when declining an offer.

Smart Tips

Remember to change 'никой' to 'никого' because it's the object.

Use 'нищо' and don't forget 'не'.
