Explanation and Etymology - (無い) nai
"無い" is a Japanese word that means "not exist" or "not have". It is composed of the characters "無", which means "not" or "without", and "い", which is a particle that indicates negation. The word "無い" is used in various situations, such as to express the absence of something, the lack of something, or the impossibility of something. It is a very common word in the Japanese language and is used in both formal and informal language. The etymology of the word "無い" dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the Japanese language began to develop and differentiate from Chinese. The word is derived from the verb "無く" (naku), which means "not exist" or "not have". Over time, the particle "い" was added to the end of the verb to indicate negation, thus forming the word "無い".How to Write in Japanese - (無い) nai
