1. 1

    Nowt means “nothing”. It is a spoken word from the north of England — Yorkshire, Lancashire, and nearby. You hear it in sentences like “I heard nowt” (I heard nothing) or the old saying “There’s nowt so queer as folk” (people are stranger than anything). It is friendly and informal, never a word for an essay. Southern British English and American English do not use it, except when someone is copying a northern voice. Though actually it is the same old word as nought or naught, just said the northern way.

    什麼都沒有(英國北部口語,等於 nothing)
