Sometimes you may do something or experience something that you never ever want to do again. How do we express that in Chinese? One of the ways to do say is to use 再也不!

Structure

To express that something will never be done again, or never happen again, you can use this structure:

Subject + 再也不 + Verb + Object + 了

Notice that 了 is used - in this case it's sentence 了. This is because it is now the case that the action will not be done.

Examples

  • 昨天 晚上 太 丢脸 了,我 再也不 喝 酒 了。
  • 再也不 说谎 了。
  • 再也不 要 抽烟 了。
