Definitions and meaning of nichts

nichts

German

Alternative forms

  • nix (a very common colloquial pronunciation; frequently seen in informal writing)
  • nischt (dialectal, widely restricted to eastern Germany)

Etymology

From Middle High German nihtes niht (“nothing of nothing”), a reenforcing construction with niht. See nicht. Cognate with Dutch niets, Hunsrik nichs.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /nɪçts/, /nixts/

Pronoun

nichts n (indefinite pronoun)

  1. nothing

Usage notes

  • Used instead of nicht to negate a sentence involving a non-specific noun.
    Gibt es da etwas? Nein, ich sehe nichts. ― Is there something there? No, I don't see anything.
  • Frequently, especially in spoken or informal language, accompanied by gar.
    Ich sehe gar nichts. ― I don't see anything at all.

Declension

Invariable. A following adjective is capitalized and declined as a neuter singular in the strong pattern. Thus nichts Neues (“nothing new”) in the nominative and accusative cases; nichts Neuem in the dative case.

A genitive form does not exist. It is paraphrased by means of the preposition von (“of”). After the prepositions statt, trotz, während, and wegen, the dative case is used instead: wegen nichts Wichtigem – “because of nothing important” (i.e. because of something unimportant).
