"Not the men"

Translation: Nicht die Männer

[Rueff21]

why can't it be "die Männer nicht"? thanks

[wataya]

It can. Both solutions are fine.

I used Nicht der Männer, but if I remember correctly we use die when dealing in more than one. Der Männ, Die Männer - is that right?

[JA1231]

Yes. "Der" is used for Masculine singular nouns in Nominative form, while "die" is used for plural nouns no matter the gender or form. Oh, and the a in Mann is not an umlaut, while the "a" in Männer is. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_articles
