From Lesson 380:Abstract nouns after prepositions·French

Questions & Answers about Je n'écris ni avec fluidité ni avec maîtrise.

Why are there no articles before fluidité and maîtrise?
Because they are abstract nouns following the preposition of manner avec. When describing how an action is performed using an abstract concept, French drops the article. So it is avec fluidité, not avec de la fluidité.
Why is there no pas after the verb écris?
The structure ne... ni... ni... translates to neither... nor... in English. The word ni carries the negative meaning, so adding pas would make it an incorrect double negative. You just use ne before the verb and ni before each option.
Do I really need to repeat avec before both nouns?
Yes. In French, prepositions usually must be repeated before every noun they apply to, especially in a coordinated structure like ni... ni.... It would sound unnatural to say ni avec fluidité ni maîtrise.
I know maîtrise can mean a university degree. How do I know it means mastery here?
Context! When used with the zero article after avec to describe how someone does something, it refers to the abstract concept of mastery, control, or skill. The academic degree is a countable noun, so it would take an article, like in faire une maîtrise (to do a Master's degree).
