THE NEGATIVE PRONOUN.

220. The negative pronoun (and pronominal adjective) is "neniu", no one,

nobody, no (formed of "ne" and "iu", with a medial "n" inserted for the

sake of euphony):

Neniu el vi komprenas min, no one of you understands me.

Mi trovis neniun preta por iri, I found nobody ready to go.

Li havis neniun honestan serviston, he had no honest servant.

221. The negative pronoun "neniu" has a possessive or genitive form,

"nenies", nobody's, no one's:

Cxies afero estas nenies afero,

everybody's affair is nobody's affair.

Li lauxdos nenies ideojn,

he will praise no one's ideas.
