"Voi nu înotați cu noi?"

Translation: Are you not swimming with us?

[JohnAllman4]

"Aren't you swimming with us?", I wrote. The software insisted that this was wrong, and offered, "Don't you swim with us?", which is how a foreigner might put the question, and thus instantly to be recognised as not a native English speaker.

it didn't accept my translation when i translated it as "you're not swimming with us" but why is it wrong? i thought present simple and continuous had the same form in Romanian

[Gene947760]

I wrote 'Are you not swimming with us' and it was marked wrong. Not sure it should have been but not confident enough to report it.

I would go ahead and report it. Duolingo normally accepts the present continuous as a correct translation and should here as well. Same for the contracted form "Aren't you swimming with us?" which would be the most natural English phrasing.

[spam-boo-limbo]

Are you not swimming with us? is way more natural than the only accepted answer. "Do you not swim with us?" has a subtly different connotation to me, and sounds awkward in this context.

I keep missing the NU! Anybody else?

[ArguingInElvish]

Does this also cover "You will not swim with us?"

[Ars_inveniendi]

No, "will not" is future tense.

[traindrivermark]

They are both invitations to swim, as possible future actions

[Tony849579]

It took me a while to figure it out

[Frank988697]

You are not swimming with us?

[gluadys]

That would normally be a good conversational equivalent here, but the software might not accept is as the word order is not interrogative. I don't think algorithms recognize tone-of-voice as a question marker.

[Anthony458500]

Yes the translation is awkward

[Gatobronco]

"Aren't you swimming with us?" Would be a more correct question.
