No
A simple interjection meaning “no”. It can be used alone or before a statement to negate or refuse.

Third‑person singular present of the verb *essere* (to be). It agrees with the subject that follows, even when the subject is an impersonal pronoun like *tutto*.

🗨In Conversation
Vuoi altro caffè?
Do you want another coffee?
No, è tutto.
No, that’s all.
✕Common Mistakes
No, è tutti.
Use the singular *tutto* because it is an indefinite pronoun, not the plural adjective *tutti*.
No, è tutto a me.
Adding *a me* changes the meaning to “It’s all for me,” which is not the intended short answer.
No è tutto.
A comma (or a pause) after *No* makes the sentence clearer and more natural.

Cultural Tip
In Italian conversation, short answers like *No, è tutto* are very common. They convey politeness without sounding abrupt. You’ll hear it in cafés, markets, and even in business meetings when confirming that nothing else is required. Remember that *tutto* stays singular even when referring to a collection of items, because it functions as an indefinite pronoun rather than a plural noun.
