In German, negation can be expressed using the words "kein" and "nicht." Here's a brief overview:

Kein

• "Kein" is used to negate nouns or noun phrases.
• It means "no" or "not any" and agrees with the gender and number of the noun it refers to.
• Examples: "Ich habe kein Auto" (I don't have a car), "Keine Katze mag Hunde" (No cat likes dogs).

Nicht

• "Nicht" is used to negate verbs, adjectives, or adverbs.
• It means "not" and is placed before the word or phrase it negates.
• Examples: "Ich kann nicht schwimmen" (I cannot swim), "Das ist nicht gut" (That's not good), "Er arbeitet nicht schnell" (He doesn't work quickly).

Negation with Compound Nouns

• For compound nouns, "kein" is placed before the first noun, and "nicht" is used to negate the second part.
• Example: "Ich habe kein Nichtraucherzimmer" (I don't have a non-smoking room).

Double Negation

• In some cases, both "kein" and "nicht" are used together for emphasis or to negate different parts of a sentence.
• Example: "Ich habe keine Lust, nicht zu arbeiten" (I don't feel like not working).

It's important to note that the placement of "nicht" can affect the meaning of the sentence, so care should be taken when using negation in German.
