Which phrase is grammatically correct?

Question

I was wondering which phrase is grammatically correct, or if either were correct. Would it be correct to say "nada mas" or "no mas"? I want to know which one is correct, and not slang or anything. Could I just use either in any given situation or are either of the phrases better suited or certain situations. I ask because one of my spanish speaking friends said that "nada mas" was like the english equivalent of the grammatically incorrect "more better."

Answer 1

In addition to the above there is another use for "nada más" vs. "no más."

Nada más is used as a synonym for 'sólo" or solamente. I use it all the time.

Esta vez nada más voy a dar una respuesta corta. This time I am only going to give a short answer.

Many of my students who are of Mexican descent use "nomás" or "no más" instead. I understand that this is quite popular usage among Mexicans.

Answer 2

I am not the best with grammar but I would say they can both correct depending on how you use them.

¿Algo más? No, nada más.

¿Más fresco? No, no más.

Your first example is common in Spain - padrin, Jan 19, 2015

I'm not sure but I would use "nada mas". I am not very good with grammar, though.
