How to Say “No More” in Latin

By •
non amplius
In Latin, the phrase for "no more" is non amplius.
The phrase is used as an adverb to mean "not any longer".
Meaning: not any longer (adv)

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of the negative particle non (not) and the adverb amplius (more/further/more widely).

Which one should you use?

While non amplius emphasizes the cessation of a quantity or extent, non iam is a common alternative specifically meaning "no longer" in terms of time or state. Other formal variations include amplius non for "no more" or "no further", nec amplius for "not anymore" and non ultra for "not beyond".

How does it change in a sentence?

The adverb amplius is used in its comparative form to express the idea of "more", and the negation non turns it into "no more".

Did you know?

  • The word non might be a combination of the concept 'not' and 'one', effectively meaning 'not even one' in its earliest roots.
  • The word amplius shares a conceptual root with the English word 'ample', which is why they both carry the sense of being large or extensive.

Examples in context

  • Non amplius temporis habeo ad hoc.
    I have no more time for this.
  • Non amplius hoc facere possum.
    I can no longer do this.
  • Non amplius in urbe habitat.
    He lives in the city no longer.
  • Nunc non amplius timeo.
    Now I am no longer afraid.
