"I also do not have a younger sister."

Translation: 我也没有妹妹。

[Katie672596]

Why can't you say 我也没有一个妹妹。?

[Auoric]

It is because you are now saying "I also do not have one sister", implying that you may have none, or more than one.

[Tristianski]

I can imagine that it would be like saying "I also don't have (exactly) ONE younger sister. (But maybe two, maybe three.)" Weird...
Here you want to say that you have no sister (in general). I guess you can imagine it as plural if you want to translate it more directly: "I also don't have (younger) sisters".

[Jerry969]

When a statement is to confirm existence/nonexistence of something, the quantity with its modifier should be omitted. I.e “Do you have a car” should be translated as "你有车吗？"， not"你有一辆车吗？".

[AlyssaNoseworthy]

I guess perhaps it would be the difference between saying "a sister" vs. "one sister"? Still, I don't think the meaning is that different...

[AlyssaNoseworthy]

Is 不 applicable here?

[jaaesiix]

没有 means don't have, and 不 means no. so it would be weird if you said 我不妹妹 because it would mean I no younger sister

[nemurenatta]

No, you can't use 不 with 有, in that case 沒 is always used instead.

[YureiKertia]

Is there a specific reason for that or is that just how it is? (If anyone knows, would be cool to know in order to memorize it more easily)

[JackJones2411]

"没有” that way round means the negative

[Khals_Dad]

I was wondering about that 不

[WhenCowsFl]

Ah man, I forgot to say '也'. I should remember that next time!

[Wadenobise1]

I'm trying to figure out how to say i also do not have a younger sister in Chinese.

[KamrulIsla14]

Why it isnt showing the right result even if i do it right

[LeonBland]

Can someone explain the use of he, please.

[Val765064]

I entered the sentence without the "。" dot. It marked it as wrong... I didn't know the dot was important. :/

[Val765064]

Here again. Forgot the dot.... Srsly?!

[Mustafa454720]

But i do

[JulGutierrez]

I want to know why I can say
