What does "la" (negation) mean in the context of genus?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Does it mean negating the genus?

The Shaykh : Huh? Negating the genus means the genus of its object is negated, because sometimes you say: "There is no man in the house," meaning there is not a single man in it, there are many men, yes.
The student: ... no man

The Shaykh : Huh? What? Huh?
The student: ... no man

The Shaykh : Yes, you know the ruling now, I say know the ruling now, do you know what we do? We change it, we say: "Zayd is not standing," okay everyone? Good.
