Spanish Word of the Day
Monday, June 8, 2015

Yesterday's Word - Previous Words - Help

nadie, pronoun
nobody; anybody

The usual translation for the word nadie is nobody. However, unlike English, Spanish tends to use double negatives, as you can see in number two above. When this happens, and the word nadie comes after the verb, nadie is translated as anybody.
