Greetings
I am doing a useless project where I am collecting how you say "And no eggs..." in various languages. So far I have Russian English, and an attempt at German with French coming soon.
English: And no eggs...
Russian: А не яйца...
German: Und keine Eier...
Spanish: Y no huevos...
Swedish: Och inga
Correction: И нет яиц.
Also, capital "e" on Eier.
Y no huevos . . .
And no balls . . .
What I have was given to me by a native, so I'm not sure...Quote:

The problem is that your English sentence is ambiguous. What you have in German means "and no eggs(there are no eggs)." This is what I translated into Russian. What you have in Russian means something like "And no eggs(I don't want any eggs with that)."Quote:

First you should clarify what you mean with "and no eggs."
Er... Pretend you have a recipe and there are no eggs. And no eggs...
I still cannot think of a context in which that would be used. Most recipes that do not require a certain ingredient simply do not mention it.
Bahh that isn't the point. It's from a song, which if nesceary I will point out the lyircs for it.
http://toolshed.down.net/lyrics/aenimamaster.html - It's number 10.
In this context the one you had originally would be correct.
BTW, got you to reveal the meaning of your nonsense phrase. :twisted:
Hooray!! lol, thanks pravit. I didn't think something as simple as "And no eggs" could possibly have so many meanings. Wow.Quote:

@Pravit: I'm curious as to how you got "И нет яиц"; more specifficaly the last word. Яйцо is egg, so what ending does that take or what do you do to it to degrade it to яиц?
French: ...Et pas d'oeufs.
"Huevos" in Spanish can mean "balls" as well as "eggs"
Interesting that the same holds true with German "Eier" :o
Not this again. I just asked what it was and he told me "Et aucun oeuf". Both correct?Quote:

For that song I would suggest the following variants:
и(но) никаких яиц
но не яйца
но только не яйца
The Spanish is wrong I think. Its just a literal translation.
I'd Say
Y nada de heuvos.
When you use "нет", whatever there isnQuote:

polish:

(and there are no eggs)
Et aucun oeufs = And none eggs.Quote:

Sans oeufs = Without eggs.
They all have the same meaning.
Polish
I żadnych Jajek
djmihow,
doesn't żadnych mean "none" in polish?
Based on context i think it should actually be "a nie jajek" (and/but no eggs)
ya, i think your right
и без яиц
и никаких яиц
и не надо яиц
in English "geordie" it would be,
"an nee eggs, pet"
