Questions & Answers about Per ora non ho nessuna voglia di uscire.

What does per ora mean here?

Per ora means for now, at the moment, or for the time being.

It suggests that the situation may change later. In this sentence, the speaker is saying that right now they do not feel like going out, but maybe they will later.

Why is there both non and nessuna? Isn’t that a double negative?

Yes, and that is completely normal in Italian.

In Italian, negative words often appear together:

• non ho nessuna voglia = I don’t have any desire / I have no desire

A native English speaker may expect only one negative, but Italian regularly uses this structure. So non + nessuna is correct and natural.

Why is it nessuna and not nessuno?

Because voglia is a feminine singular noun.

Nessuno behaves a bit like an adjective and must agree with the noun it goes with:

• nessun libro = no book / any book
• nessuna voglia = no desire / any desire

Since voglia is feminine singular, the correct form is nessuna.
