Hello! Today we'll learn the key difference between German negation forms nicht and kein. Both mean "not," but negate different sentence elements.
Nicht negates verbs, adjectives, or adverbs. Example: "Ich spreche nicht Deutsch" (I don't speak German) negates the verb. Conversely, kein negates nouns, especially if there's no article or an indefinite one (ein/eine). For instance: "Ich habe kein Geld" (I have no money) negates the noun.
Remember: Nicht for verbs/adjectives, kein for nouns. You'll get this!
