    There are languages (e.g. Spanish) where a double negative is still understood as a negative.

    Standard varieties of English aren’t among them, but some dialects are.

    The same is also true in German.

        in some Austrian/Bavarian dialects people say things like “i hob koa Gööd ned” which translated word-for-word to Standard German is “ich habe kein Geld nicht”.

      Even in Spanish, some double negatives are underestood as negatives, like “I didn’t do anything” (yo no hice nada)
