"A másik férfi sem gazdag."

Translation: The other man is not rich, either.

[garpike]

So 'sem' makes a statement negative automatically ('not...either' rather than just 'either')?

[linguafiqari]

Yes, "Nem" becomes "Sem" to mean "Neither":

• A: Nem látok semmit - I can't see anything
• B: Én sem - Neither can I

[raspushok]

Sem = is nem?
Oroszul "тоже не"...

[linguafiqari]

Így van :)

[GerSzej]

should be marked as a new word maybe, with a short explanation.

"`the other guy isn't rich neither" why is that wrong

[ion1122]

In standard English, you do not use the double negative contruction 'is not + neither'. To be grammatical, your sentence would have to be: 'The other guy isn't rich either' or 'Neither is the other guy rich'.

Legitimately curious- what dialect of English would consider that valid? Mine certainly wouldn't.

[Sarar365893]

What the hell! My answer is correct :The other man is not rich" but Duolingo refuses it every time!

[ion1122]

Your sentence is correct in the sense that it is a logical inference from what we are given. However, it is not a complete translation of the Hungarian sentence.

In other words, DL is marking you wrong because you have omitted translating "sen". That's the hard part of this exercise!
