soha
التعريفات والمعاني
== Hungarian ==
=== Alternative forms ===
sohasem, sohase, sosem, sose (all comprising the additional negative particle required, see Usage notes)
=== Etymology ===
sem (“neither”) + ha (introduces a conditional clause; here “when”)
=== Pronunciation ===
IPA(key): [ˈʃoɦɒ]
Hyphenation: so‧ha
Rhymes: -hɒ
=== Adverb ===
soha
never
==== Usage notes ====
Just like other adverbs with a general negative sense (senki, semmi, sehol etc.), it is used with another word of negation in Hungarian (double negation):
Soha nem láttam még elefántot. ― I've never seen an elephant (yet).
or
Nem láttam még elefántot soha. ― like above
However, if one of its alternative forms is used instead, no other negative follows (because these alternative forms already incorporate a negative sem or se):
Sosem láttam még elefántot. ― like above
If it is separated from the verb, the negative appears again (strictly speaking, resulting in a triple negation):
Nem láttam még elefántot sosem. ― like above
