Verb

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

1. I am unwilling, I do not wish, I do not want, I refuse

   T. Maccius Plautus, Stichus, or The Parasite Rebuffed

   Abire nolumus. ― We are unwilling to depart.

   Nollem. ― I would not/I could wish not.

   Nollem factum. ― I am sorry for it.

   Quod nolim. ― Which I must not do (loosely, which Heaven forbid).

   Non nolle. ― To have no objection/To be willing.

   Me nolente. ― Without my consent. /Against my will. (literally. with me being unwilling)

   Alere nolunt hominem edacem. ― They won't keep a greedy man.

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) + [infinitive], literally "Be unwilling to [ bare infinitive ]," reflecting the substitution of nolle + [infinitive] for ne + [second-person present subjunctive], the latter phrase having the literal meaning of "May you not [ bare infinitive ]." Examples:

  Nōlīte spēluncās intrāre (plural)

  Don't (you people) enter the caves! (plural)

  Nōlī irasci.

  Don't become angry.

  Nōlī avorsari.

  Don't recoil.

  Nōlī putare.

  Don't think.

  Nōlītote mirari. (plural)

  Don't be surprised. (plural)

  Nōlīto putare.

  You shall not think.

  Nōlīte, hospites, ad me adire.

  Don't approach me, strangers!

  Nōlīte, judices, existimare.

  Don't judge, judges!

• Sometimes the verb volo (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 "non" + "velle".
