((sth.)) ((Verb)) (as a direct object) Ich habe nix gesehen. (I saw nothing.)

Synonyms: nichts; Antonyms: alles (everything), etwas (something)

A colloquial shortening of 'nichts' (nothing). The 'x' sound phonetically simplifies the 'chts' sound.

Remember this as the cool, short, informal way to say 'nichts'. It's similar to saying 'nothin'' instead of 'nothing' in English.
