    "she isn't earnest" was rejected but should be accepted

      "She doesn't mean it" should be accepted. It has the same meaning.

        So, is this sentence meant as "she isn't being serious"?

          "She is not a serious person" should be accepted.

            Negative.

            This sentence actually means she is kidding or she doesn't want the serious relationship with someone. It's not describing the personality.

            她不是認真的 She is not serious 她是個不認真的人 She is not a serious person

            I hope this isn't related to the previous declaration about getting married!!
