For example:
- Ich habe keine Zeit. (I have no time.)
- Es gibt keine Äpfel im Laden. (There are no apples in the store.)
- Ich kenne keine Deutschen. (I don't know any Germans.)
"Keine" can also be used to negate a verb, in which case it must be placed directly before the verb it is negating.
For example:
- Ich kann nicht schwimmen. (I can't swim.)
- Er will nicht essen. (He doesn't want to eat.)
- Sie müssen nicht arbeiten. (They don't have to work.)
In some cases, "keine" can be combined with other words to form a negative compound noun. For example, "kein Interesse" means "no interest" and "keine Lust" means "no desire".
