Etymology

Pronunciation

Verb

nōlō (present infinitive nōlle, perfect active nōluī); irregular conjugation, irregular, no passive

  1. to be unwilling, to not wish, to not want, to refuse
    T. Maccius Plautus, Stichus, or The Parasite Rebuffed

Usage notes

  • This verb is especially frequent in the imperative (nōlī, nōlīto, nōlīte) because its imperative form is used as the negation in a polite form of negative imperative: nōlī / nōlīte (singular/plural, respectively) + , literally "Be unwilling to ," reflecting the substitution of nolle + for ne + , the latter phrase having the literal meaning of "May you not ." Examples:
    Nōlīte spēluncās intrāre (plural)
    Don't (you people) enter the caves! (plural)
    Nōlī īrāscī.
    Don't become angry.
    Nōlī avorsari.
    Don't recoil.
    Nōlī putāre.
    Don't think.
    Nōlītōte mīrārī. (plural)
    Don't be surprised. (plural)
    Nōlītō putāre.
    You shall not think.
    Nōlīte, hospitēs, ad adīre.
    Don't approach me, strangers!
    Nōlīte, jūdicēs, exīstimāre.
    Don't judge, judges!
    Nōlī mē tangere (dīcit eī Iēsus): nōndum enim ascendī ad Patrem meum. Vāde autem ad frātrēs meōs et dīc eīs: ascendō ad Patrem meum et Patrem vestrum et Deum meum et Deum vestrum.
    Jesus saith to her: Do not touch Me: for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to My brethren and say to them: I ascend to My Father and to your Father, to My God and to your God.
  • Sometimes the verb volō (to wish, to want) is used pleonastically with this verb:
  • Sometimes followed by a negative, which does not undo the negation.
  • The second person forms and third person singular of the present indicative are supplemented with "nōn" + "velle". However, in Old Latin nevīs and nevolt for nōn vīs and nōn volt are attested.
