@Misato @luithe Nobody can't stop me = everyone can stop me.
English is this weird language where negative + negative = negativity is canceled.
In Japanese, negative + negative = still negative.

Guuuyyyss, ryo's bulliing my language!!! :syabuji:
Curious, what would be a simple example of a double negative in Japanese?
@Misato "But looks like a factorization...(English)"
More or less. I conceptualize English double negatives the same as -1 * -1
(Sorry if I derped up the replies or whatever, total noob to using fedi)

@enjoyer @Misato @luithe A very simple example would be "誰もいない" (literally: nobody's not here), meaning "nobody's here".
Although on the other hand, "誰もいる" just means "everybody's here".
