Also means
not
Usage Note
No is the bare negative reply; to negate a verb inside a sentence you instead use non (non vengo = 'I'm not coming'). The tag vero? or no? is tacked onto statements like English 'right?', as in Hai fame, no?. The phrase dire di no means 'to say no'.
Examples
"No, non lo voglio."
Natural Translation
