Fun fact: doing this translation after you have forgotten to turn caps lock off makes it sound 100x more dramatic

[QUESTION]
Should this be similar to, "my mother isn't found anywhere."?

In my opinion it's more likely "My mother cannot be found anywhere"

The "er" lesson is far worse. lol. But, I found this video (and the whole series) extremely helpful. This one is on the "te" construction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QwnJOVLAds

"ergens" is "somewhere, anywhere", and "nergens" is its negation "nowhere". You can see the same pattern with the n as negation in iets/niets (something/nothing), iemand/niemand (someone/no one), and ooit/nooit (ever/never).
