How do you say 'no' in Latin?

There is no direct equivalent for "no" in Latin. Usually the verb is repeated with the negative particle non in front of it:

-Visne cenare? -Non volo

-"Do you want to eat dinner?" -"I do not want".

The adverb minime ("not at all") can also be used:

-Visne cenare? -Minime

-"Do you want to eat dinner?" -"Not at all".

For "no" meaning "not any" (e.g. "There is no reason . . .") use the adjective nullus, -a, -um.
