§Grammar and usage
Nowhere has a negative meaning, so it is not used with 'not' ('I went nowhere', not 'I didn't go nowhere', which is a double negative); inversion after nowhere at the start of a sentence ('Nowhere have I seen such beauty').
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: nowhere का अर्थ नकारात्मक है, इसलिए यह 'not' के साथ प्रयुक्त नहीं होता ('I went nowhere', 'I didn't go nowhere' नहीं, जो दोहरा नकार है); वाक्य के आरंभ में nowhere के बाद inversion ('Nowhere have I seen such beauty')।
