Which is correct? Why?
- Not enough memory
- No enough memory
The first variant seems to be significantly more popular on the Internet than the second one.
I want to use such construction as an error message in the program. I think it is a short version of the sentence "There is not enough memory".
Answer
No goes in front of nouns to negate them, and not goes in front of adjectives or phrases to negate them. Not the other way around.
This is one of English's less flexible rules. The second sentence sounds very wrong.
