"このくつはふるくないです。"

Translation: These shoes are not old.

[Adoninas]

この靴は古くないでさ

[Jacob323733]

These are not old shoes... I must be messing up the sentence context or something

[LordOfTheAndain]

It should be "these shoes are..." -- この is used with a noun, without one it would have been これ.

[BlueLinguist]

古く? shouldn't it be 古い?

[sora_Japan]

These shoes are old.

'このくつは古いです。'or 'このくつは古い。'

These shoes are not old.

'このくつは古くないです。' or 'このくつは古くない。'

'古い' is old. '古くない' is not old.

I was confused by this I forgot the word but this
did not look right to me thanks

[headchop]

Does 'このくつはふるいしません' work?

[sora_Japan]

Unfortunately, no, it doesn't.

You can say following :
このくつはふるくありません。
(この靴は古くありません。)

Thanks!

Wouldn't this be an acceptable English equivalent?

"This pair of shoes aren't old."

[1036832929]

What about "This pair of shoes are not old?" Or would there be a specific way of saying this sentence?

[ASleepingRock]

You get the same general meaning across with your sentence BUT -and don't quote me on this-, but I feel that you are adding more words to the sentence with "pair of" which would be represented with a counter in the Japanese sentence.

[VeranoJoe]

So is "kutsutachi" not necessary when talking about a pair of shoes? Is it always implied that "kutsu" means it's a pair of shoes?

[ASleepingRock]

Or with any other object. ~たち would only be used with proper nouns and pronouns.

[sethc121]

i said These are not old shoes and got it wrong. Am I?

[Silsool]

They're vintage

[Julia543869]

It should be "these" shoes not "this" shoes.
