I have no time too... or either?
Dear italki users,
Could you help me with this sentence, please?
As far as I know, we use 'too' after a positive verb and 'either' after a negative verb.
- I have time too.
- I don't have time either.
But I'm not sure if "I have no time" counts as a negative verb.
It is "I have no time too" or "I have no time either"?
Thank you.

I have no time either.
I wouldn't use neither in this context, only when comparing two things negatively eg he was neither tall nor short

I suppose, for negative sentences we'd better use "neither" insted of "either". At least, for formal situations.
