Notas de uso
- Use 'no' for direct refusal; 'non' negates verbs. 'No' stands alone, 'non' needs a verb after it.
- Avoid overusing 'no' in formal writing; prefer 'non' + verb for clarity and politeness.
- In speech, 'no' can soften requests: 'No, grazie' (No, thank you) sounds gentler than just 'grazie.'
