Pronunciation
edit- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈnoː.loː/, [ˈnoːɫ̪oː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈno.lo/, [ˈnɔːlo]
Verb
editnōlō (present infinitive nōlle, perfect active nōluī); irregular conjugation, irregular, no passive
- to be unwilling, to not wish, to not want, to refuse
- T. Maccius Plautus, Stichus, or The Parasite Rebuffed

Usage notes
edit- This verb is especially frequent in the imperative (nōlī, nōlīto, nōlīte) because its imperative form is used as the negation in a polite form of negative imperative: nōlī / nōlīte (singular/plural, respectively) + [infinitive], literally "Be unwilling to [ bare infinitive ]," reflecting the substitution of nolle + [infinitive] for ne + [second-person present subjunctive], the latter phrase having the literal meaning of "May you not [ bare infinitive ]." Examples:
- Nōlīte spēluncās intrāre (plural)
- Don't (you people) enter the caves! (plural)
- Nōlī īrāscī.
- Don't become angry.
- Nōlī avorsari.
- Don't recoil.
- Nōlī putāre.
- Don't think.
- Nōlītōte mīrārī. (plural)
- Don't be surprised. (plural)
- Nōlītō putāre.
- You shall not think.
- Nōlīte, hospitēs, ad mē adīre.
- Nōlīte, jūdicēs, exīstimāre.
- Nōlī mē tangere (dīcit eī Iēsus): nōndum enim ascendī ad Patrem meum. Vāde autem ad frātrēs meōs et dīc eīs: ascendō ad Patrem meum et Patrem vestrum et Deum meum et Deum vestrum.
- Jesus saith to her: Do not touch Me: for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to My brethren and say to them: I ascend to My Father and to your Father, to My God and to your God.
- Nōlīte spēluncās intrāre (plural)
- Sometimes the verb volō (to wish, to want) is used pleonastically with this verb:
- Sometimes followed by a negative, which does not undo the negation.
- The second person forms and third person singular of the present indicative are supplemented with "nōn" + "velle". However, in Old Latin nevīs and nevolt for nōn vīs and nōn volt are attested.
