by no means
An elevated and somewhat old-fashioned way to express 'keineswegs' (by no means) or 'ganz und gar nicht' (not at all); a strong negation.
Die Behauptung, er habe davon gewusst, ist mitnichten wahr.
The claim that he knew about it is by no means true.
'Mitnichten' (by no means) often appears at the beginning of a sentence in position 1. In this case, the verb follows directly after it in position 2, and the subject is in third position.
Mitnichten war er mit diesem Vorschlag einverstanden.
By no means did he agree with this proposal.
This word belongs to elevated written language and often sounds formal or literary. It is used only very rarely in everyday spoken language.
Die Lage hat sich mitnichten verbessert, sondern verschlechtert.
The situation has by no means improved, but rather worsened.
'Mitnichten' (by no means) is a very strong and definitive form of negation. It is used to firmly reject a statement or claim.
Die Gerüchte sind mitnichten wahr.
The rumors are by no means true.
by no means
'keineswegs' and 'mitnichten' both mean 'not at all' and strongly negate a statement. The difference is mainly in style. 'keineswegs' is clear, but still relatively normal in formal or factual sentences. 'mitnichten' sounds elevated, old-fashioned, or sometimes even slightly humorous. In everyday language, 'keineswegs' is usually more natural; 'mitnichten' is more suited to special, emphatic, or written language.
Das Ergebnis war mitnichten ein Zufall, sondern harte Arbeit.
The result was by no means a coincidence, but the product of hard work.
Die Reise war keineswegs langweilig, obwohl es viel geregnet hat.
The trip was by no means boring, even though it rained a lot.
