How to say "there is nothing to do"

Question

How would you translate, "There is nothing to do"? I translated it as no hay nada hacer, but my professor said that hacer isn't the correct verb. What verb would you use instead?

Answer 1

Hi!

I would say "No hay nada que hacer".

Answer 2

No hay nada a ocupa mi tiempo.

Answer 3

The character is talking about the new house that he moved to. He's upset that they moved there. And he says "There's nothing to do, there's no one to talk to, nobody to play with..." My professor is a native speaker and said that they used a different verb than hacer for there's nothing to do.

Answer 4

Is there any more context?

Is this there is nothing to do like "I am bored and can't think of how to occupy my time" or "We have tried every possible solution and there is nothing more to do"?

No hay nada para hacer

qué vamos a hacer, no hay nada más que hacer;

Answer 5

if the context was, "is there something you want to do?" then you would say "no hay nada que hacer"
