Usage notes
[edit]- The nominative and accusative are usually replaced by the genitive ничего́ (ničevó) in colloquial speech, and may be considered synonyms.
- With prepositions, ничто́ (ništó) is split into ни (ni) and что (što), with the preposition in between, such as in ни за что (ni za što, “not for anything”).
