### Negative Existence (nema)

To say that something is missing, unavailable, or doesn't exist, use the word **nema** (there is no / there isn't).

Whenever you use **nema** to state that something is absent, the missing item must be in the **genitive case**.

For masculine nouns (which typically end in a consonant), form the genitive by adding **-a**. For example, **internet** becomes **interneta**, and **signal** becomes **signala**.

### Feminine Nouns

For feminine nouns, which usually end in **-a**, change the ending to **-e** in the genitive case. For example, **struja** (electricity) becomes **struje**.

{{item:1000956}}

### Neuter Nouns

Neuter nouns generally end in **-o** (like **gorivo**, fuel) or **-e** (like **grijanje**, heating). Change the final vowel to **-a** in the genitive case.

- **gorivo** becomes **goriva**
- **grijanje** becomes **grijanja**

### Saying "No More" (više)

To express that a resource has run out, combine **nema** with the adverb **više** (anymore). You will often see this grouped as **nema više** or **više nema**. The noun that follows remains in the genitive case.
