[BobPancakes]

yes

[olive0708]

why is it incorrect to say "안 파세요?"

[ekjofyth]

its grammatically corrent, but it sounds weird and unnatural for koreans

[ZXz68]

"아기의 책을 안 파세요? " can translate (consider context) "I wounder you sell the baby's book." or "Do you not sell the baby's book?"---- So, It is wrong using in Korean.

why is 아기의 책을 안 파세요 wrong?

[dUlOGy]

Because that's asking if they'll sell it.

[OKAMOTO_Yusuke]

May I ask whether "아기의 책을 판매하지 마세요" sounds awkward?

What's the difference between 사지 & 팔지?
They both mark correct...

[BobPancakes]

사지 마세요 means do not buy. 팔지 마세요 means do not sell. It is marked as correct as the AI is treating it as a spelling error instead of a grammatical error.

Is "~팔지 마" unacceptable?

[Hanzo_Ergo]

Probably coz they want us to be polite

[BobPancakes]

It's fine. Flag it as an alternate translation

What is the difference between using 팔아 and 팔지 in this sentence? How does it (if so) change the meaning?

[wintertriangles]

팔아 마세요 is not a word, basically. "~지 마" is the way to negate a verb or adjective.

Duolingo accepts this version as correct: 아기 책을 사지 마세요. Worth noting because, I think, it would be far more common in spoken Korean, and it's easier on the tongue. Please correct me, though, if I'm wrong on the first point.
