"Tú no puedes."

Translation: You cannot.

[Megzany17]

How discouraging. ;)

[Angmail]

There are things that are more difficult. Come on! You can do it!

[perrie21]

[DominiqueT854155]

I agree but if it keeps

[JamesMcWil]

I have the habbit of mixing spanish and English lol. E.g. "tú cant" this is why im getting most of my questions wrong. Anyone else have this problem? Lol

[LittleWing1]

Yup. I know just enough to do a little bit of erroneous code switching. It sucks to get dinged for a heart. But then you have to admit, "Whoa! I just screwed up in Spanish." :D

[debmossca]

Yes, when I have been working on it too long.

[MatthewBry864834]

same

[v_Tiara]

:) Yes I have, and I can mix it with German or with my mother tongue Hungary too:) That is...

[Rebecca889157]

me lol

[kwarnimont]

Why was I not allowed to say "you are not able to"?

[9772rohan]

same issue. "you are not able to" is correct

[UzbekSultana]

i think i can, i think can, i think i can ...

[AutumnSunset]

¡Sí, Se Puede!

[barrynelson]

why can it not be, 'you may not'

[Aditina]

You may not-No deberías

[Pablo_Langhinoti]

can not is different of cannot?

[Angmail]

Either one is correct. they are the same auxiliary verb. However, in Spanish 'can' means to be able to. 'Not been able to...' Cannot

[csmithwanatah]

i said the same thing

[MotherBatch]

Why can I not say you are not able to?

[O_livier]

«you are not able to» means «you do not have the ability to do this». In spanish, the vers «poder» means «you can» as it is possible for you (conditions are right, you may or you're able to). The sense of «poder» is larger than what «being able to» is. I hope it helps...

[spanishdoug]

"Why was I not allowed to say "you are not able to"?" Fixed now woot.

[kor_clamantis]

So, you can say "not able", but, in English can we translate it as "unable to"?

[benspanish21]

This was a tricky one!

[evelyn121805]

Ikr??

[Margaretforman]

What is wrong with 'you can't?'

[MyCareBear]

Nothing. I got it right when answering it the second time. After I got it wrong the first time.

[LatriceHea]

Why is "No you can't" considered wrong?

[MyCareBear]

I posted a comment stating that using this phrase "no you can't" is including an extra "no" that wasn't in the original question.

[MyCareBear]

So having said that, "You can't" should work.

[MyCareBear]

And it does.

[m1c45]

may and can are the same word in spanish , this should make things hard for english speaking people

[brotistgut]

I can't do what?

[DakshMuktanjay]

no, yo puede

[BossMan007]

I thought it was "you do not can" as in, can food

[fractalfriendzy]

Don't tell me what I can't do!

[SmilodonBC]

I love these encouraging sentences.

[Mmstayler]

I don't have the problem with mixing languages because english ain't my native language :D

[JacobGoggl]

Why is you can't not accepted.

[AlmostLizbian]

Don't tell me how to live my life!

[dr.Equivalent]

Literally

[BeWch]

No you can't should also work. It's a phrase.

[RayOliveri]

no you can't.. is the same as, you can not.. and all the rest

[GabrielGreen]

Can't is the contraction of cannot. "You can't" should've worked but I didn't ._.

[BendytheInkDemon]

It's nice to know Duolingo believes in me

[Rebecca889157]

thanks for the encouragement lol

[MatthewBry864834]

spashish is hard

[bruh_.]

Spanish purple guy

[mamasboy1127]

Now I wanna cry

[MyCareBear]

I suppose saying "no you can't " is saying no twice and the sentence only included one "no"?

[Galleta_TA]

It seems to me as if this sentence repeats itself. Tu=you, no=not, puedes=you cannot. What am I missing?
