Review Summary

  • Нет + [Noun in Genitive]

よくある間違い

You used the Nominative case. After 'нет' meaning 'there is no', you must use the Genitive case.

Wrong: Нет вода.
正解: Нет воды. (There is no water.)

Masculine nouns ending in a consonant need the -а ending in the Genitive when negated.

Wrong: Нет хлеб.
正解: Нет хлеба. (There is no bread.)

The word 'время' is an irregular neuter noun; its Genitive form ends in -мени.

Wrong: У меня нет время.
正解: У меня нет времени. (I have no time.)

Next Steps

You're doing great! Mastering the Genitive case is one of the biggest hurdles in Russian, and you just cleared a major part of it. Keep practicing those endings!

よくある質問 (2)

In Russian, 'не' negates a verb or a specific quality, but 'нет' negates the existence of the object itself. To say 'there isn't any,' you need 'нет' + Genitive.
It can mean 'no' (as an answer to a question) or 'there is no' (as a verb-like word). When it means 'there is no,' it always triggers the Genitive.
