This is the 181st most frequent Lithuanian word.
nė
The Lithuanian word "nė" means "not even" or "nor."
In this sentence, 'nė' is used to emphasize total lack or negation in the action.
Ji nė nežinojo, kad vakar vėlavome.
She didn't even know that we were late yesterday.
Here, 'nė' emphasizes the absence by adding a sense of absolutism to 'vieno' (a single one).
Jis neatnešė nė vieno pieštuko.
He didn't bring even a single pencil.
In this context, 'nė' combines with 'kartą' to express a firm negation of repetition or occurrence.
