Just the 'Nada' Bit

Putting 'no' before a verb makes the phrase negative. 'No hablo inglés' means I don't speak English. 'Nada' is added on to create the meaning of 'nothing' or 'anything'.

'No'

Adding 'no' is the most simple way to make a sentence negative in Spanish. The 'no' will usually come before the verb.
- Me gustan las verduras → No me gustan las verduras.
  - I like vegetables → I do not like vegetables.
'No' comes after verbs of belief, hope and desire.
- Creo que no.
  - I don't think so.
'Que no' is used in short answers when there is no need to repeat a previous statement.

'No'

No hago ejercicio.
- I don't do exercise.
No como carne.
- I don't eat meat.
No bebemos alcohol.
- We don't drink alcohol.

'No' + 'nada'

'Nada' is used with 'no', in a double negation.
'No' comes before the verb and 'nada' comes after.
- No queremos hacer nada.
  - We don't want to do anything.
Occasionally 'nada' is used without 'no', but this is a very formal style.
- Nada justifica el terrorismo.
  - Nothing justifies terrorism.
