Not me! Posted by on Mar 19, 2008 in Grammar

One of my favorite little expressions in Portuguese is “Eu não!” It literally means “Not me!” but is used as a negative response to a question.

Here are some examples:
Você vai trabalhar no feriado?  Are you going to work on the holiday?
Eu não!  No!

Você gosta do Big Brother? Do you like Big Brother?
Eu não!  No way!

Você quer comer no restaurante vegetariano?  Do you want to eat at the vegetarian restaurant?
Eu não!  No!

Vai acordar às seis amanhã?  Are you going to wake up at six tomorrow?
Eu não!  Nope!

Você odeia o Brasil? Do you hate Brazil?
Eu não!  No way!
