ni

ni

"Ni" means "nor" or "neither" in English.

In this sentence, "ni" is used in the sense of 'even,' emphasizing that the individual made no effort to attend the meeting.

Nije ni došao na sastanak.

He didn't even come to the meeting.

Here, "ni" is employed to negate and join the subject "I" to a similarly negated perception or understanding.

Ni ja nisam shvatio pitanje.

Neither did I understand the question.

In this example, "ni" is a part of the correlative conjunction 'neither...nor,' used to list two things that are both absent.

Nema ni kruha ni mlijeka u kući.

There is neither bread nor milk in the house.
