No tengo ningúna idea como utilizar la palabra "ningúno."
I have no idea how to use the word, "ningúno."
"Ninguno" is a really tricky word for English speakers learning Spanish. This, for me is because:
- We use it like "no" but not all situations of "no." It is more like "not any," something we never say.
- It has a tilde...on the "u" of all things.
- It switches from ningúno to ningúna for noun agreement. However, in the case of a singular masculine noun, it gets truncated into ningún. Like I'm going to remember that when speaking. Sure.
For this reason, it has helped me to memorize a phrase like "no tengo ningúna idea."
This phrase is useful in Spanish class when your teacher asks you a question you cannot answer. If you say, "Tengo no idea," as I first did, and as makes perfect sense to my mind, you will be wrong and they will correct you.
By the way, how many times have you felt like wearing this shirt to Spanish class?
