What does ものが mean in this sentence


What does ものが mean in this sentence : 私 は あなた に あげる もの が 何も ない。

As far as I understood, ものが means "nothing". But then why do we also have 何も,
which also means "nothing"?




What gave you the idea that ものが means 'nothing'? A natural sounding
translation of the sentence might be 'I have nothing to give to you', but
literally it's 'There are no things I will give to you.'

もの is simply 'things', and が is serving its usual grammatical purpose of
marking a subject. 何も here is acting as mere emphasis for a negative sentence,
much like in the sentence 何も心配する必要はない.
