Best Answer

"He (it, one, she) swims" or "You swim" as a verb and "nothing" as a noun are English equivalents of the Portuguese and Spanish word nada. Context makes clear which option suits, with Spanish having an additional use of ¡Nada! as the second person singular imperative meaning "Swim!" The respective pronunciations will be "NA-duh" in Cariocan and continental Portuguese and "NA-tha" in Spanish.

In Spanish, that either means "nothing", or "he/she/it swims". I believe in Portuguese it's similar.

What does 'te nada' mean in English?

The verb nadar, which means 'to swim' in Portuguese and in Spanish, is intransitive. So it doesn't take a direct object. In the phrase of the above question, 'te nada' appears to be an example of the direct object 'te' with the verb 'nada'. But that's most likely a mistake. Instead, the phrase most likely is de nada, which is a way of saying 'you're welcome' in Portuguese and in Spanish. It also may be translated as 'no problem' and '[It's] nothing'. However it's translated, t's the response to the Portuguese obrigada/obrigado, and to the Spanish gracias, both of which mean 'thank you' in English. de = from, of. nada = nothing.


What is de nada mean?

The English equivalents of the Portuguese and Spanish words 'te' and 'nada' are the following: 'te', which is the direct object form of the second person pronoun, is 'you'; and 'nada', which is the third person form of the verb 'nadar', is '[he/she/it] swims'. But the verb doesn't take a direct object in Portuguese, or in Spanish. And so the phrase instead must be 'de nada', which may be an answer to being thanked. For it's the equivalent of the English 'You're welcome', 'No problem', 'It's no problem', or 'Don't mention it'.

What is the English translation of 'te nada'?

The English equivalent of the Portuguese and Spanish words 'te' and 'nada' translates as the following: [He/she/it] swims you. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'te', as the direct object, means 'you'; 'nada' 'nothing.' But the verb 'nadar' doesn't take a direct object in Portuguese or in Spanish. And 'nada' also may be translated as 'nothing'. So it's most likely that the word is 'de', which means 'from' or 'of'. And 'de nada', which translates as 'from' or 'of nothing', may be a response to being thanked. For it may be translated as '[You're] welcome', 'No problem', '[It's] nothing', or 'Don't mention it'.


What does 'no nada' mean in Spanish?
