Subject: How do you say ...?

Justin wants to know how to say "no" in Lowlands Saxon (Low German).

It's _nee_ (also written <ne>, <nää> or <nä>, pronounced [ne:] or
[nɛː]/[nE:]) for "no" as in "No, we don't' have any."

"No" as in "We have no bananas" is _keyn_ (also written <keen>, <käin>,
<kein>, etc., pronounced [kɛˑɪn]/[kE.n] or [kaˑɪn]/[ka.In], depending on the
dialect, also with or without aspiration, again depending on the dialect.)

(And, Frédéric, both words may be heard with more or less nasalization.)

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
