How to write even or not even

Not even or even? How is this written? The truth is that we are many who have raised this question at the time of writing and using this word, although we know its meaning. If you want to know what is the correct way to write it so as not to make spelling mistakes, keep an eye on this article in which you will discover if it is written even or not even.

not even

When writing "not even" it is necessary to do it as two separate words, since that is what it is: an adverbial phrase or -what is the same- a group of words that works as a single adverb.

If we search the dictionary for the term "not even" it will not appear, but we must locate the conjunction "even" whose meaning can be synonymous with:

  • even though
  • already
  • at least
  • just

In this way, by adding the negative particle "ni" in front we will be indicating that the phrase has a negative connotation and will mean the opposite.

Examples: He did not even let me pay for coffee.

For a while now he has not even greeted us.

*not even

Thus, "* nisiquiera " does not exist and therefore we should never write this expression as a single word, because we would be committing an error or lack of spelling.
