Nothing or anything?
In Spain, we say, for example: "No quiero nada". "I don't want nothing" (nothing = nada)

In english I think is right to say: "I don't want anything" (anything = algo) or is correct "I don't want nothing"?

Is the same question: "There isn't anybody" or "There isn't nobody"?

Answer

The same goes for "there isn't nobody". It's a double negative.

Answer

I don't want nothing in English is a double negative. It's actually means that you do want something although people will know that you actually mean to say "I don't want anything". We try to avoid using double negatives in English.
