What is difference between no and nothing?

Answer 1

Nothing is the word no with the suffix of thing meaning no thing. No can mean none or the opposite of yes. The word nothing means none in one sense.

Here are some examples:

• Johnny I said no you may not have that Popsicle.
• So I get nothing?
• I never said you could have no-thing. There are no root beer Popsicles. None of of the Popsicles left are root beer flavored. There are strawberry and lemon and you know you don't like those flavors. So do you still want that Popsicle since it is your most hated one?
• I guess not. Johnny put it back in the refrigerator.
• Mom gave him a cookie. He was happy there were no more root beer Popsicle's.
• Did you notice I wrote no-thing to emphasize that word's meaning?
