How do you say have no in French?

The most common way to say "have no" in French is "n'avoir pas".

Here's how it breaks down:

* "ne" is the negative particle that comes before the verb.

* "avoir" is the verb "to have".

* "pas" is the negative adverb that comes after the verb.

Examples:

* "I have no money" - "Je n'ai pas d'argent."

* "She has no time" - "Elle n'a pas de temps."

* "They have no children" - "Ils n'ont pas d'enfants."

Important Note: You can also say "ne...rien" to mean "have no".

* "I have nothing" - "Je n'ai rien."

* "He has nothing to say" - "Il n'a rien à dire."

The choice between "n'avoir pas" and "ne...rien" depends on the context and what you want to emphasize.
