    There's no "it" in the Chinese phrase

      I can't say 他不·买·它？

      I'm fairly certain that you can, though it's unnecessary and Duolingo rejects it. I just reported it.

      Is "他不买那" wrong? Might not be necessary, but shouldn't be wrong, right?

      It is wrong. Use 他不买那个 instead.

        他不买这个 should be fine as well :)

          Anything with "那" is wrong; "那" means "that".

            Out of curiosity, in Chinese can the phrase "buying it" be used to mean accepting a story?
