Rien and aucun
This question relates to:French lesson "Ne ... aucun(e) = None (French Negations)"
Asked 1 year ago
Salut Jannat,
rien (pronoun indefinite / noun) --> nothing, mere nothing, the slightest thing
aucun (pronoun / adjective) --> no, none, not one, not any
They are not synonymous and their employment depends on the context.

Hope this helps.
Bonne continuation.
Jim
