The meaning of "Nay" in various phrases and sentences
Q:
Co znaczy The nays have it, and the motion is dropped.
?
?
A:
In general terms "nay" means "no" to the proposed motion or vote, used in more formal voting situations. So, when the person controlling the voting process says "the nays have it", it means the motion or vote was declined or rejected.
"Nay" is from Middle English (old English). The equivalent for "yes" is "aye" or "yea".
I thought that it was the term used in the UK parliament, but it seems that they use "aye" and "no". However, both Canada and the USA government voting systems use "yea" and "nay". Did you see your quote in reference to the USA or Canada?
