The most basic way to express negation in Italian is with the word ''non''. This is usually placed before the verb, but it can also be placed after the verb in certain cases. For example:

! Italian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| Non parlo italiano. || nɔn ˈparlo iˈtaljaːno || I don't speak Italian.
|-
| Parlo non italiano. || ˈparlo nɔn iˈtaljaːno || I don't speak Italian.
|}
 
In both cases, the meaning is the same. However, the placement of ''non'' can change the emphasis of the sentence. When ''non'' is placed before the verb, it emphasizes the negation more strongly.
 
Another way to express negation in Italian is with the phrase ''non...più''. This phrase is used to express the idea of no longer doing something. For example:

|-
| Non vado più a scuola. || nɔn ˈvaːdo ˈpju a ˈskwɔla || I don't go to school anymore.
|}
 
Finally, there are some other words and phrases that can be used to express negation in Italian. These include ''mai'', ''nessuno'', ''niente'', and ''neanche''. For example:

|-

|-
| Non ho niente da dire. || nɔn ɔ ˈnjente da diˈre || I have nothing to say.
|-
| Non lo so neanche io. || nɔn lɔ ˈso ˈneːante ˈjo || I don't know either.
|}
