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.
