Ah, you mean the word 'nothing'!?

Mandarin: mei2you3 shen2me
Yiddish: gornischt (as in the German gar nichts); or bubkes (literally, "beans")
Vietnamese: không (both a negation particle and a noun, literally "air" Very Happy)
Hebrew: klum

French: "Rien"

At least, to my knowledge. Confused

Oh. My best recollection is of something more like "nix, nein, and hell no!"

But yeah, I can say nothing in any language.

Of course not, urs. That was GI talk, otherwise known as dirty dutch. If you haven't heard of that particular dialect, it speaks well of you.

Norwegian: Ingenting or intet. Ikke means not, and ikke noe/noen, means no (i.e. "Jeg hadde ikke noe valg" = I had no choice).
