<p style="text-align: left;">Hi~<br>Good morning!<br><br>The negation of a negation does not always mean affirmation but I understand it normally does. <br>A few days ago, I came across the following sentence<br>"Do not take nothing from nobody."<br>With three negatives in such a short sentence, the meaning is confusing.<br>Could you translate it for me?<br>Any comment is welcome!!<br><br>Have a great 불금!</p>

첫댓글I think... the speaker is telling the listener not to accept anything from anyone, so it seems a kind of warning to be careful about accepting gifts or favors from strangers.
へ The phrase "Don't take nothing from nobody" is a colloquial expression that means to be independent and self-sufficient. This is what I found from googling.

That's an interesting point.
I think the objects of negation are different. I'll do it like this
"누구에게서도 아무것도 받지마라"
I think it is a very weird sentence, my goal is still too far.....ㅠ
