"No, ants are not bugs either, but insects."

Translation: Nem, a hangyák sem bogarak, hanem rovarok.

[ap2907]

I don't think "hanem" is correct here, since bugs are also insects. The English sentence means "No, ants are not bugs either, but they are insects anyway."

[Tarmil]

If I'm not mistaken, "de" would be correct here instead of "hanem" then?

[ap2907]

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

[Judit294350]

I see it as they were talking about (say) flies. And one person says "Flies are not bugs - unlike ants" and the other person says "No, ants are not bugs either, but they are insects".

[Masabobe]

Ez a mondat nem logikus sem angolul, sem magyarul.
