Нет
Нет is the standalone answer "no", but its other job is far more common: it means "there is not" and is followed by the genitive case. У меня нет времени is literally "by me there is no time". Contrast it with не, which negates a single word.
Examples in context
У меня нет времени.
I have no time.
