"Він ніколи не грав у бейсбол."

Translation: He has never played baseball.

[DuaneHettich]

How do you say, "He never played baseball." ?

[skstudio]

It is the same.

[Nedict1]

Please what's the function of "не" in this sentence? Can't ніколи stand alone? For some reason I keep reading this as:
He has never not played baseball.

[Cogitos]

Ukrainian is a double negative language.

[MelisaInsa1]

I was answered on other thread that you always use не with ніколи when you want to say a negative sentence. The double negation might sounds weird for my spanish mental mode but it's a different language, nobody say it was easy :)
