Example sentence
お 金が 無い です。How 無い is used
無い is an い-adjective meaning non-existent or not there. It serves as the plain negative form of the verb ある (to exist/have for inanimate objects). In polite speech, it is replaced by ありません or ないです. Note: As a standalone word, it is usually written in hiragana (ない) in modern Japanese, though the kanji is widely used in compound words.
