nikada

When you're trying to express that something never happens or has never happened, you'll use the adverb nikada. It's a straightforward word that translates directly to "never" in English. You can place it in various positions in a sentence, often before the verb, to negate the action. Remember to always pair it with a negated verb in Croatian, as double negation is standard practice.

When you're trying to communicate that something has never happened or that you never do something, the Croatian word you'll need is nikada. It's an adverb, which means it modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Think of it as directly equivalent to the English word "never."

You can use it quite simply in a sentence, often placed before the verb it modifies. For example, if you want to say "I never eat meat," you would say "Nikada ne jedem meso." Notice that Croatian often uses a double negative construction with nikada, so you'll frequently see nikada ne... (never not...) which translates to "never" in English. It's a fundamental word for expressing negation over time.

Hello learners! Today, we're looking at the Croatian word nikada, which means 'never'. This is a very useful adverb to know when you want to express that something doesn't happen at any time. Let's get straight into how to use it.

§ Basic Usage of Nikada

The word nikada is an adverb of time, and it generally goes before the verb it modifies. In Croatian, like in many Slavic languages, a double negative is common and grammatically correct when expressing 'never'. This means you will often see nikada paired with a negative form of the verb.

Ja nikada ne jedem meso.

Translation Hint
I never eat meat. (Literally: I never not eat meat.)

On nikada ne kasni.

Translation Hint
He is never late.

§ Nikada with Different Tenses

You can use nikada with various verb tenses to express 'never' in the past, present, or future.

§ Present Tense

As seen in the examples above, nikada works straightforwardly with the present tense.

Mi nikada ne idemo tamo.

Translation Hint
We never go there.

§ Past Tense (Perfekt)

When using nikada with the past tense (Perfekt), the structure remains similar. The auxiliary verb 'biti' (to be) will be in its negative form, and nikada will precede it.

On nikada nije vidio more.

Translation Hint
He has never seen the sea.

Vi nikada niste bili u Zagrebu.

Translation Hint
You (plural/formal) have never been to Zagreb.

§ Future Tense

For the future tense, nikada will come before the negative future form of the verb.

Ja nikada neću zaboraviti.

Translation Hint
I will never forget.

Oni nikada neće odustati.

Translation Hint
They will never give up.

§ Placement of Nikada

While typically nikada precedes the negative verb, you might sometimes hear it placed at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis. The meaning remains the same.

Nikada neću zaboraviti taj dan.

Translation Hint
I will never forget that day.

§ Nikada vs. Nikad

You might also come across the shorter form nikad. Both nikada and nikad mean 'never' and are interchangeable. Nikada is slightly more formal or emphatic, but both are commonly used in everyday speech.

To se nikad ne događa.

Translation Hint
That never happens.

§ Common Phrases with Nikada

Here are a few common phrases where you'll hear nikada:

  • Nikada više! - Never again!
  • Nikada u životu! - Never in my life!
  • Nikada ne reci nikada. - Never say never.

Nikada više neću ići tamo.

Translation Hint
I will never go there again.

That's it for nikada! Practice using it with negative verbs, and you'll get the hang of the double negative in no time. Keep up the good work!

§ Double Negatives are Correct in Croatian

This is probably the biggest difference for English speakers learning Croatian. In English, we avoid double negatives. For example, we wouldn't say, "I never don't go." Instead, we say, "I never go."

However, in Croatian, double negatives are not only common but also grammatically correct and often necessary. When you use 'nikada' (never), you almost always need to use another negative word in the sentence, usually 'ne' (not) with the verb.

Correct
Ja nikada ne jedem meso. (I never eat meat.)
Incorrect (for English speakers, but correct in Croatian's double negative structure)
Ja nikada jedem meso. (Literally: I never eat meat, but without the 'ne', it sounds unnatural and often wrong in Croatian).

Think of it this way: 'nikada' sets up the negative meaning, and 'ne' with the verb reinforces it. It's a fundamental aspect of Croatian grammar you'll get used to.

§ Forgetting 'Ne' with the Verb

Building on the previous point, a very common mistake is simply forgetting to add 'ne' before the verb when using 'nikada'. This can lead to sentences that sound incomplete or even positive when you mean to be negative.

Example of a common mistake
'On nikada pije kavu.' (He never drinks coffee.) This is missing 'ne'.
Corrected version
'On nikada ne pije kavu.' (He never drinks coffee.)

§ Placement of 'Nikada'

While 'nikada' usually goes before the verb (and 'ne'), its placement can sometimes vary for emphasis, but generally, it precedes the 'ne' + verb construction.

  • Usually: Subject + nikada + ne + verb.
  • Example: 'Mi nikada ne idemo tamo.' (We never go there.)

Placing it at the very beginning of the sentence is also common for emphasis:

Nikada neću zaboraviti taj dan.

Translation hint
I will never forget that day.

A less common but still possible construction is to place 'nikada' after the verb, but this usually changes the emphasis or sounds more poetic, so it's best for beginners to stick to 'nikada' before 'ne' + verb.

§ Confusing 'Nikada' with 'Nekada'

These two words look very similar but have completely different meanings:

  • Nikada: Never
  • Nekada: Sometime, once upon a time, formerly

Mistaking one for the other can lead to funny or confusing situations.

Nekada sam volio čokoladu.

Translation hint
I once loved chocolate (but not anymore).

Nikada ne jedem čokoladu.

Translation hint
I never eat chocolate.

"Nikada" can also be used at the beginning of a sentence for emphasis.

Nikada neću zaboraviti taj dan. (I will never forget that day.)

When "nikada" is used with a form of the verb "biti" (to be), it still precedes the verb.

Nikada nisam bio tamo. (I have never been there.)

"Nikada" is an A1 level word, meaning it's fundamental for expressing negation related to time or frequency.

Nikada to nisam vidio. (I have never seen that.)
