### Expressing "No Longer" with *Nu mai*

To express that a habit or situation has stopped, Romanian uses **nu mai** ("no longer" or "not anymore"). Unlike English "anymore," **nu mai** is placed directly before the verb.

### Working with Helper Verbs

With helper verbs (like "can" or "have to"), **nu mai** goes immediately before the conjugated helper verb.

Observe the difference between modifying the main verb directly versus modifying the helper verb **poate** (can):

### Where Do Pronouns Go?

If the verb has a weak object pronoun, the pronoun slips exactly between **nu** and **mai**:

**nu** + [pronoun] + **mai** + [verb]

### "Never Again"

Because Romanian uses double negation, you can combine **nu mai** with negative words like **niciodată** (never) or **niciun** (no / not any).
