新春快乐!万事如意!🎆

Past negation, "didn't do ~" with 没(有)

Guardian:
可是他没有骗你啊,but he didn't trick you.
抱歉,我没有事先跟你说明, sorry I didn't explain to you beforehand (sure you are, Shen Wei)
这么长时间我都没发现原来校长是你爷爷, all this time I never realized that the (DCU) president was your grandfather (Jiajia can keep a secret!)
Searching for 没 in the Guardian script brings up about forty million instances of 你没事儿吧?没事儿, good grief.

My practice:
不好意思,我没洗盘子,以后会洗。
吴邪为什么没有告诉胖子他的秘密?
不行,我没充电手机。

Edited to add: wow, 我刚刚发现,今天是二零二二年二月一号,这里的练习第二十二天。 (If we'd started exactly one day later so that the 22nd day fell on February 2, that would be a WHOLE LOT of twos. Call it an er-er on my part.)

The only accent identification I can do is a sliding scale from "oh yeah I understand this" to "are we even still speaking the same language??" XD

And yeah, aside from the exceptions noted on the wiki page (which are specific to Beijing dialect anyway) it's just a pronunciation difference… albeit a fairly notable one given that at least some uses seem to be codified in standard Putonghua pronunciation. Which is expected, given Beijing and all.

(Arguably even 过 could be superfluous – 昨天我没去 itself already works, though I feel 过 adds the emphasis of "didn't go at all"?)
