"Nem én csináltam."

Translation: I did not do it.

[Alla155411]

Can this mean "it's not me who did it"?

[Imre565437]

Yes, exactly

[Benjiii1989]

Usually it is "én nem csinaltam". How do you make the difference between " i didnt make it" and "no i made it"

[Findil]

With a comma:

• "Nem én csináltam." -- "I did not make it."
• "Nem, én csináltam." -- "No, I made it."

[laszlo914063]

I think the original question was: How to express the difference between two Hu sentences (Nem én csináltam vs. Én nem csináltam) in Eng. This would be: "It was not me who did it. vs. I did not do it. " But I am not sure, I am a native Hungarian.

Számomra érhető, amit írtál.

[Liggliluff]

By making a pause and really emphasising it?
"Nem ... ... ÉN csináltam"

[jsiehler]

Nem én kiáltok, a föld dübörög.

[KylerCarls]

it shoud be i didnt do it or i didnt make it

[mizinamo]

Are there separate definite/indefinite conjugations in the past, too, or just in the present?

[jsiehler]

There are, but the 1st person singular doesn't show any difference between the two.

[mizinamo]

Thank you!

[AnCatDubh]

You’re right, Obama.

[mistyx7]

can this not also mean... I was not making it... or is there a specific way to indicate past progressive

[RyagonIV]

No, Hungarian has just a single past tense, so that would be an okay translation. Though I'd prefer to translate "to make" as készít, mostly.

[BenjaminVa209945]

This should be also equivalent to i did not do it

[kobihershk]

I submitted this report:
"should be " I did not do it" make it is something you create and do it is something you do - there is a difference"

[Judit294350]

In Hungarian "csinál" means both "he does" and "he makes".

[retiredpro]

kezelem is for making or creating something - csinal is for doing

[Judit294350]

No, "csinál" is fine for making (as well as doing). "készít" is to make or prepare. (kezel is to treat or work with)

[jantje78222]

I am pretty sure you did it
