Sometimes you may do something or experience something that you _never_ ever want to do again. How do we express that in Chinese? One of the ways is to use this quirky combination of three little words: 再也不 (zài yě bù)!
|
||
|
||
## Using 再也 with 不
|
||
|
||
### Structure
|
||
|
||
To express that something will _never_ be done again, or never happen again, you can use this structure:
|
||
|
||
Subj. + 再也 + 不 (+ Auxiliary Verb) + Verb Phrase + 了
|
||
|
||
Notice that 了 is used. In this case it's ["change of state 了"](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Change_of_state_with_%22le%22). This is because _it is now the case that_ the action will not be done again. It indicates some kind of determination or decision.
|
||
|
||
### Examples
|
||
|
||
- 我 _再也不_ 想 看到 你 了 ！
|
||
<!-- - Wǒ _zài yě bù_ xiǎng kàndào nǐ le! -->
|
||
- I never want to see you again!
|
||
- 我 _再也不_ 想 跟 你 说话 了 。
|
||
<!-- - Wǒ _zài yě bù_ xiǎng gēn nǐ shuōhuà le. -->
|
||
- I don't want to talk with you ever again.
|
||
- 我们 _再也不_ 会 相信 你 了 ！
|
||
<!-- - Wǒmen _zài yě bù_ huì xiāngxìn tā le! -->
|
||
- We're not going to believe you ever again!
|
||
- 医生 说 她 _再也不_ 能 跳舞 了 。
|
||
<!-- - Yīshēng shuō tā _zài yě bù_ néng tiàowǔ le. -->
|
||
- The doctor said she will never be able to dance again.
|
||
- 我 _再也不_ 要 离开 你 了 。
|
||
<!-- - Wǒ _zài yě bù_ yào líkāi nǐ le. -->
|
||
- I'm not going to leave you ever again.
|
||
|
||
## Using 再也 with 没
|
||
|
||
### Structure
|
||
|
||
Subj. + 再也 + 没 + Verb + 过 + Obj.
|
||
|
||
Notice that 过 is used. This pattern expresses that during a certain period of time in the _past_, or _from_ a certain point in the past up _until now_, something _hasn't been done_ again.
|
||
|
||
### Examples
|
||
|
||
- 从 那 以后 ，我 _再也没_ 去 过 酒吧 。
|
||
<!-- - Cóng nà yǐhòu, wǒ _zài yě méi_ qù guo jiǔbā. -->

||

|
||
- 出国 以后 ，我 _再也没_ 吃 过 地道 的 中国 菜 。
|
||
<!-- - Chūguó yǐhòu, wǒ _zài yě méi_ chī guo dìdao de Zhōngguó cài. -->
|
||
- Since leaving my country, I've never eaten any authentic Chinese food.
|
||
- 分手 以后 ，他们 _再也没_ 见 过 。
|
||
<!-- - Fēnshǒu yǐhòu, tāmen _zài yě méi_ jiàn guo. -->
|
||
- They haven't seen each other ever since they broke up.
|
||

|
||
<!-- - Bìyè yǐhòu, tā _zài yě méi_ huā guo fùmǔ de qián. -->
|
||
- She has never spent her parents' money since she graduated.
|
||
- 考 完 试 以后，我 _再也没_ 碰 过 那些 书 。
|
||
<!-- - Kǎo wán shì yǐhòu, wǒ _zài yě méi_ pèng guo nàxiē shū. -->
|
||
- Since finishing exams I haven't touched those books again.
