Usage notes

Derived terms coined between the 1980s and 2000s are largely neutral in usage. Usages coined after the 2010s will often carry derogatory or sarcastic connotations, as seen with examples such as NuTrek, nu-Labour and nu-male. Contrast this with the neo- prefix, which lacks the same connotation.

Adverb

Usage notes

Romanian features the double negative. Nu is stressed within a normal sentence, but in a double negative construction is left unstressed in favour of the other negative component.

In speech—even in moderately formal contexts—nu is elided before verbs beginning with a, most notably the past perfect auxiliary avea.

Likewise, nu triggers prodelision before words (of any part of speech) beginning with î. Elision and prodelision are orthographically marked with a hyphen where no line break may occur.

In these cases, the syllable following the n of nu takes the sentence stress, which is stronger than the primary stress of the negated word.
