nothing

The German word 'nichts' is used to express the concept of 'nothing'. It is often used in sentences to indicate the absence of something or to negate a statement. For example, 'Ich habe nichts zu tun.' translates to 'I have nothing to do.' or 'I am doing nothing.' It can also be used in response to a question to indicate a lack of something, as in 'Was hast du gegessen?' 'Nichts.' which means 'What did you eat?' 'Nothing.'
