"Ich bin nicht aus Indien."

Translation: I am not from India.

[stevieray5294]

why is this statement in the lessons like 50 times!?

[Travisfish6]

Thank you its so repetitive!

[raconteur]

what do you call amerindians/ native americans in german?
until recently they were (very confusingly) just called indians, or red indians, because columbus made a mistake.

[jjd1123]

Normally we use "Inder,-in" = "Indian (from India)" and "Indianer,-in" = "Native American". We also have other terms like e.g. "amerikanische,-r Ureinwohner,-in", which would be more or less equivalent to the term "Native American".

I always get the same questions over & over again, even tho I am 100% right. Please fix this problem.

[Randi856410]

Why introduce "Indien" verbally at this juncture when we wouldn't know to use this word and can't understand it?

[Leob101]

What's the difference between "nicht" and "kein?" Are they just synonyms?

[rowschank]

Kein = negative of ein, so goes only with nouns.

[Christophe501344]

I have gotten this sentence like 8 different times in 6 different ways. Getting repetitive

[Mohamed-Maged]

Can i say :
"Ich bin Aus Indien Nicht " ?

[jjd1123]

No. "Nicht" precedes whatever it negates. Here it negates the predicate, i.e. "(to) be from India" or "aus Indien sein". In these cases, "nicht" precedes the non-finite part of the predicate ("aus Indien"), which is usually placed at the end of the sentence. So it has to be "Ich bin nicht aus Indien.". ("Aus Indien bin ich nicht." would also be possible but it would be more like "I am not from India.".)

[Wajner]

I think "nicht" is placed at the back if there's a direct object (in this case, there isn't). I'm not sure though, need confirmation.

[reconnoisance]

Usually the negation nicht goes before the
Adjective ,adverbs and prepositions
In this sentence the word order would be
nicht aus

How do I say 'I haven't been to India'?

[Langohr_]

„Ich bin nicht in Indien gewesen.“ or „Ich war nicht in Indien.“

[Sc1003]

Wouldn't the proper way be to say "Ich komme nicht aus Indien"?

[Kim693172]

I find knowing whether to use kein or nicht very confusing. I thought they said kein is used with the verb to be, and Ich bin is "I am"....

[CaroEnrico]

So it's correct to say "Ich bin (nicht) aus X", as well as "Ich komme (nicht) aus X"?

[Pia447082]

Yes, both are correct
