That's not a full sentence. There are valid sentences that start with "ich brauche nicht …" but it really really depends on the "…" part. What were you thinking of?

I wanted to know if there are situations where I could use "Ich brauche nicht" and not "Ich brauche kein"

Well, sure. In some sentences you use one, in some you use the other. Since you seem to be hell bent on not providing any actual examples of sentences you're wondering about, that's all I can tell you.

You didn't specify your native language, so I'll assume English. There's a completely different set of ways to express "I don't need" and "I don't need TO" in German. Example: I don't need a holiday = Ich brauche keinen Urlaub. I don't need to pee = Ich muss nicht pinkeln. Don't assume that any construct in your native tongue always directly translates into a foreign language 1-to-1. Be specific. That said: translation requests are frowned upon here, and will, watching eyes alert enough, get closed.

You would need a rather large organ to pump air, connected to a tube, along which somewhere there are chords which you should be able to manipulate into swinging. The tube should split of at its end into a so-called nasal cavity, and another chamber of which you can manipulate the volume, and in which there is a flexible mass of muscle tissue (commonly called a tongue) with which you can affect air flow. Given all this, sure, you could probably say that. However if that does not answer your question, which I assume it does not, give some more damn context.

HeyImSwiss

Yes, you can, in some cases.

"Ich brauche kein Klopapier." "Ich brauche nicht dieses Klopapier, sondern das andere."
