nebe-

Lithuanian

Etymology

From the particle nèbe (“not anymore, no longer”).

Prefix

nebe-

  1. 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.
