I am trying to understand where "nicht" comes and where comes "kein"....
For example:
"Ich esse nicht"
"Nicht" is with "essen" which is an infinite verb and not anything we can see or touch...
But in this example: " ich esse keine tomate"
"Keine" is related to "tomate" not "essen". And tomato is a thing we can touch, see, etc...
Is my judgement right? Is there any rule like this? Plz confirm
