Thread: Ленинград - Когда нет денег (Contains adult language, so be warned!)

Спасибо очень

In "Потому, что нету денег ни рубля ни рубля", why is there an у on the end of нет and why is it ни рубля and not не рубля? Is that the genitive case?

Also I don't understand most of the endings in "И среди моих друзей людей приличных нет", specifically "моих друзей людей приличных". Which case (or other grammar thing) is affecting those words?

"нету" is a variant of "нет" in the sense of "absent". It can be replaced by "нет".

"не" is a negative particle.
"ни" is an intensive particle in negative phrases. Mostly equivalent of "any".
"нету ни рубля" if translated word-by-word is: "no any rouble". It requires Genitive.

"нет приличных людей" - no decent people (it is always Genitive after "нет" in the sense of "absent")
"среди моих друзей" - among my friends ("среди" requires Genitive)
