How to Say ‘I don’t have a fever.’ in Japanese

ねつもないです。

ne tsu mo nai desu

[neh-tsoo moh nye dess (none)]

💬 Usage Tip: Combine symptom + [も] + [ないです] to say “also not.” You can mirror it: [はきけもないです] (no nausea either) later.

🇯🇵 In Japan: Listing what you *don’t* have is helpful in Japan—it speeds up safe OTC selection and reduces back-and-forth.

What Learners Are Saying

Teaching in Osaka and I wanted to connect with my students beyond the classroom. The everyday conversation scenarios made my Japanese feel natural, not textbook-y.

Mia S., 25, English Teacher

Moved to Tokyo and the polite vs. casual speech levels were killing me. This app breaks it all down with real scenarios. My coworkers noticed the difference in weeks.

Kevin Z., 31, Game Developer

I tried five different apps before this one. The roleplay conversations are what finally made things click. I actually remember what I learn now.
