AdverbEdit

pas

  1. (in negative sentences) at all, ever. Used to intensify negation.
    No feu això
    Do not do this
    No feu pas això
    Do not ever do this

Usage notesEdit

The main marker of negation in Catalan is the adverb no. No is placed before the verbs, while pas is usually placed after it. Unlike French, where pas is a mandatory negative particle (under many circumstances); in Catalan, pas is only used as an optional intensifier of negation.
