never

never

The French word for "never" is "jamais."

Here, 'jamais' is used with 'ne' as a negation to indicate that the action of forgetting will not occur at any time.

Je ne vais jamais oublier ce jour.

I will never forget this day.

In this sentence, 'jamais' is used for emphasis at the beginning, indicating a strong negation of the possibility.

Jamais je n'aurais pensé que cela arriverait.

Never would I have thought that this would happen.

Here, 'jamais' adds nuance by pairing with 'presque', meaning 'almost never', to downplay the frequency of occurrence.

Cela n'arrive presque jamais.

It almost never happens.
