Used to express negation or refusal.
'Non' is a straightforward way to say 'no,' but for negating verbs, French often uses 'ne...pas' (e.g., 'Je ne sais pas').
In formal writing or official contexts, 'non' is preferred, while in casual speech, 'ne...pas' is more natural.
From Latin 'non', meaning 'not'.
In formal contexts, 'non' is often used in official or legal documents. In everyday speech, 'ne...pas' is more common for negation.
