I have no idea in Italian?

Question

How can I say "I have no idea" in Italian in a very emphatic way? I think I have sometimes heard or read some idiomatic expressions, such as "non ne ho la più pallida idea", but I don't remember them.

Answer 1

non saprei

non ne ho idea

Answer 2

Non ho la minima idea.

Answer 3

"I have no idea" : non ne ho idea

Answer 4

You can say:" Io non ho nessuna idea

Answer 5

La traduzione e' : non ne ho idea.

Answer 6

If you want to be emphatic, "non ho la più pallida idea" absolutely works. For example if someone asks you where you are and you are completely lost, this would be appropriate, especially if you are exasperated. "I have absolutely no clue"...really "I haven't the slightest idea"

Non ne ho idea

Non saprei dire

You could also just say "Boh" which is spoken and very informal, but means "I dunno"

Chissà is "who knows"

What time are your parents coming home? "Chissà" (who knows)

I think "no ne ho la più pallida idea" is too abrupt, forceful. I would just simply say " Non lo so"
