nebe-
Lithuanian
Etymology
From the particle nèbe (“not anymore, no longer”).
Prefix
nebe-
- Used on all verb forms to indicate that the action no longer occurs.
- nebe- + norė́ti (“to want”) → nebenorė́ti (“to not want anymore”)
- nebe- + verkiù (“I am crying”) → nebeverkiù (“I am not crying anymore”)
Usage notes
As with ne-, some intransitive verbs require the genitive rather than the nominative subject. This is particularly the case when the (continued) existence of something is denied:
- Yra galimybė.
- There is a chance.
- Nebėra galimybės.
- There is no longer a chance.
