usage notes, top meaning In northern Germany and many parts of central Germany, the word is used mainly in some set phrases such as nie und nimmer ‎(not by any means). Otherwise it has an archaic or poetic ring to it. It is used more readily in southern Germany and Austria, meaning “no more” or “never again”. The original sense “never, at no time” is now very rare and, at least in the north, unlikely to be understood at all.
