Nu is stressed within a normal sentence, but in a double negative construction is left unstressed in favour of the other negative component. In speech—even in moderately formal contexts—nu is elided before verbs beginning with a, most notably the past perfect auxiliary avea. Likewise, nu triggers prodelision before words (of any part of speech) beginning with î. Elision and prodelision are orthographically marked with a hyphen where no line break may occur. In these cases, the syllable following the n of nu takes the sentence stress, which is stronger than the primary stress of the negated word. ==== Antonyms ==== da === Further reading === “nu”, in DEX online—Dicționare ale limbii române (Dictionaries of the Romanian language) (in Romanian), 2004–2026 == Saterland Frisian == === Interjection === nu well == Serbo-Croatian == === Etymology === Inherited from Proto-Slavic *nǫ. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /nû/ === Conjunction === nȕ (Cyrillic spelling ну̏) (Croatia) but, however Synonyms: ȁli, no, nut === Further reading === “nu”, in Hrvatski jezični portal [Croatian language portal] (in Serbo-Croatian), 2006–2026 == Shuar == === Determiner === nu that, those === References === Chicham: Dictionario Enciclopédico Shuar-Castellano == Sicilian == === Article === nu m sg (indefinite) a, an ==== Usage notes ==== Nu is used only before words beginning with the letter z or s and a consonant, like the Italian uno === See also === == South Slavey == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [nù(ʔ)] Hyphenation: nu === Noun === nu (stem -nu-) Ford Liard form of ndu ==== Inflection ==== === References === Keren Rice (1989), A Grammar of Slave, Berlin, West Germany: Mouton de Gruyter, →ISBN, page 11 == Sumerian == === Romanization === nu romanization of 𒉡 (nu) == Sundanese == === Etymology === Shortening of anu. === Article === nu (Sundanese script ᮔᮥ) An article that denotes a noun. nu nyaho ― those who know An article that denotes ownership.
