A Scottish contraction meaning 'need not' — compact, direct, and unmistakably Scots. Like other '-nae' contractions (dinnae, cannae, willnae), neednae belongs to the rich tradition of Scots English where negation gets folded neatly into the verb. You'll hear it in everyday speech across Scotland, from casual reassurances to firm instructions.
