Advanced Description

The word né is commonly used in Italian to connect two or more negative elements in a sentence. It is often used after the words 'non' (not) or 'neanche' (neither), and it functions as a coordinating conjunction.

For example, in the sentence 'Non ho tempo né voglia di uscire' (I don't have time nor desire to go out), the word né is used to link the negative elements 'non ho tempo' (I don't have time) and 'non ho voglia di uscire' (I don't have the desire to go out).

It is important to note that né can only be used to connect negative elements, and it cannot be used to connect positive elements. Additionally, né is always placed before the element it connects.
