Je ne veux ni thé ni café ce matin.

Because the pair ni… ni… provides the negation by itself. With structures like ne… ni… ni…, you do not add pas.

• Correct: Je ne veux ni thé ni café.
• Incorrect: Je ne veux pas ni thé ni café.

With ni… ni…, indefinite and partitive articles (un/une/du/de la/des) are typically dropped:

• Je ne veux ni thé ni café.

You will also hear/see a variant that keeps de before each noun, especially in careful or formal style or when the noun is modified:

• Je ne veux ni de thé ni de café. (also correct)
• If there’s an adjective, use de: Je ne veux ni de bon thé ni de mauvais café.

Don’t mix the patterns inside the same sentence: avoid ni de thé ni café.

Yes—keep the definite article:

• Je ne veux ni le thé ni le café (que tu proposes). = I don’t want that specific tea or coffee.

Yes in informal speech many people drop ne:

• Informal: Je veux ni thé ni café ce matin.
• Very common alternative: Je veux pas de thé ni de café (ce matin). Use the full ne in writing and formal contexts.

Yes. Common options:

• Ce matin, je ne veux ni thé ni café. (fronted time phrase)
• Je ne veux ni thé ni café ce matin. (as given) Both are natural. Avoid adding an unnecessary preposition like pour here.

Yes. Use ni before each coordinated element:

• ni thé ni café ni jus (for three items) Avoid forms like ni thé et café or ni thé ou café in this structure.

It’s a direct match: ne… ni… ni… = “neither… nor…”. The key differences:

• French needs the ne (except in casual speech).
• Indefinite/partitive articles are usually dropped (or replaced by de).

Use pronouns:

• Je ne veux ni l’un ni l’autre (ce matin). = I want neither one nor the other. In very short replies you can even say: Ni l’un ni l’autre, merci.

Yes, another natural pattern is:

• Je ne veux pas de thé ni de café (ce matin). This uses a general negation (pas de) plus ni to add the second item. It’s very common in speech.

Natural replies:

• Ni l’un ni l’autre, merci.
• Aucun des deux, merci.
• Elliptical: Ni thé ni café, merci.

Approximate IPA: [ʒə nə vø ni te ni kafe sə matɛ̃]

• je [ʒə], ne [nə] (often very light in speech)
• veux [vø] (same vowel as French bleu)
• thé [te]
• café [kafe]
• ce [sə]
• matin [matɛ̃] (nasal vowel at the end) There’s no liaison to worry about here.

It’s the irregular verb vouloir:

• je veux
• tu veux
• il/elle veut
• nous voulons
• vous voulez
• ils/elles veulent

When two singular subjects are linked by ni… ni…, the verb is usually in the plural:

• Ni le thé ni le café ne me tentent ce matin. In practice, keeping it plural avoids ambiguity.

Yes, use aucun(e) with a suitable noun:

• Je ne veux aucune boisson chaude ce matin. = I don’t want any hot drink this morning.

To sound softer or more polite:

• Je ne prendrai ni thé ni café ce matin, merci.
• Merci, pas de thé ni de café pour moi ce matin.
• Je préférerais ne rien boire ce matin, merci.
