nōlō (present infinitive nōlle, perfect active nōluī); irregular conjugation, irregular, no passive

1. to be unwilling, to not wish, to not want, to refuse

   T. Maccius Plautus, Stichus, or The Parasite Rebuffed

   Abire nolumus. ― We are unwilling to depart.

   Nollem. ― I would not/I could wish not.

   Nollem factum. ― I am sorry for it.

   Quod nolim. ― Which I must not do (loosely, which Heaven forbid).

   Non nolle. ― To have no objection/To be willing.

   Me nolente. ― Without my consent/Against my will (literally, with me being unwilling).

   Alere nolunt hominem edacem. ― They won't keep a greedy man.

• This verb is especially frequent in the imperative (nōlī, nōlīto, nōlīte) because its imperative form is used as the negation in a polite form of negative imperative: nōlī / nōlīte (singular/plural, respectively) + [infinitive], literally "Be unwilling to [ bare infinitive ]," reflecting the substitution of nolle + [infinitive] for ne + [second-person present subjunctive], the latter phrase having the literal meaning of "May you not [ bare infinitive ]." Examples:

  Nōlīte spēluncās intrāre (plural)

  Don't (you people) enter the caves! (plural)

  Nōlī irasci.

  Don't become angry.

  Nōlī avorsari.

  Don't recoil.

  Nōlī putare.

  Don't think.

  Nōlītōte mirari. (plural)

  Don't be surprised. (plural)

  Nōlīte, hospites, ad me adire.

  Don't approach me, strangers!

  Nōlīte, judices, existimare.

  Don't judge, judges!

  Noli me tangere (dicit ei Iesus): nondum enim ascendi ad Patrem meum. Vade autem ad fratres meos et dic eis: ascendo ad Patrem meum et Patrem vestrum et Deum meum et Deum vestrum.

  Jesus saith to her: Do not touch Me: for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to My brethren and say to them: I ascend to My Father and to your Father, to My God and to your God.

• Sometimes the verb volo (to wish, to want) is used pleonastically with this verb:
• Sometimes followed by a negative, which does not undo the negation.
• The second person forms and third person singular of the present indicative are supplemented with "non" + "velle". However, in Old Latin nevīs and nevolt for nōn vīs and nōn volt are attested.

• Noli me tangere (Do not touch me)
• Noli turbare circulos meos (Do not disturb my circles!)
• Nolens, volens (Unwilling, willing)
