What “Neva” means
Neva negates the past. Unlike English "never", it usually just means "didn't": "mi neva si im" is "I didn't see him". It can also mean "never" in the English sense, depending on context.
Examples
Mi neva si im
I didn't see him
Im neva pay mi
He didn't pay me
Nobady neva tell mi nutn
No one told me anything
How to use it
Everyday. Learners often misread it as "never ever"; usually it is a simple "didn't". It takes part in negative concord, so other words in the sentence go negative too.
