Bonjour HD !
Actually here this is a fixed expression ne plus avoir un radis.
The reason we're keeping un here is for emphasis:
we're saying "She doesn't have (even) ONE radish." rather than the plainer statement "She doesn't have any radish.".
Also note that radis always takes an s : un radis / des radis
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
It puzzles me how many of these expression match up with with English sayings. Is it an international conspiracy?
