To indicate "not
any at all," the pattern below is used. The words 常
and
can be used interchangeably.
Quite often, the noun is "preposed" (put at the head of the sentence)
so that the two components
MW and 常/
ぃ/⊿ Verb are closer to each other. If the noun is "uncountable,"
then use 翴
as the measure word. To make a question, just put
盾 at the end.
