Spanish Negative Adjectives ~ Adjetivos negativos

Spanish negative adjectives, sometimes called indefinite negative adjectives, negate, refuse, or cast doubt on a existence of the noun that they modify.

No... ninguno is the only Spanish negative adjective and means "no" or "not any." Note that no precedes the verb while ninguno follows it.

No hay ningún dinero.	There's no money.
No tengo ninguna idea.	I have no idea.
Ayer no he visto ningún estudiante.	Yesterday I didn't see any students.
No hay ningún peligro.	There is no danger.
No veo ningunos anteojos.	I don't see any eyeglasses.

Note that ninguno changes to agree with the noun that it modifies:

	singular	plural
masculine	ninguno	ningunos
feminine	ninguna	ningunas

However, when ninguno precedes a masculine singular noun, it changes to ningún.

To stress the negation, the negative adjective can be placed after the noun:

No es problema ninguno.	It's no problem at all.
No tengo dinero ninguno.	I have absolutely no money.
