What's the right way to make a negative sentence in Finnish starting with the phrase "no one"?
For example, "no one like the newest movie" or "no one speaks English here". I know, that in Finnish "no one" or "nobody" are translated like "ei kukaan", aren't they? So, is it okay to say, " Ei kukaan ei puhuu espanjaa" vai "Ei kukaan puhuu espanjaa"? Or should a negative sentence look like differently? You know, I'm really puzzled. AUTTAKAA MUA!)))))))

Right way to say that would be: "Kukaan ei puhu espanjaa".

You can say 'ei kukaan!' when you want to be fairly short in your answer, for example ; "Who likes this film? Ei kukaan!" However, it's best to say "kuukan ei..." when your continuing to say other things with the sentence.
