"It is not my cup."

Translation: Non è il mio bicchiere.

[TheGandalf]

Oh. I got it wrong because I said (excuse the lack of accent marks) "Non e mio bicchiere"... Does the "non" have to go before the verb?

[mukkapazza]

Your placement of non is right where it needs to be, but do remember with possessives an article is also needed :)

• Ho il mio libro (I have my book)
• Leggete il vostro giornale (You read your newspaper)
• La donna ha il suo piatto (The woman has her plate)

[TheGandalf]

Oops, sorry, that was a typo, what I really put as my answer was "E non mio bicchiere." So, maybe I had two issues, the article and the placement of "non". Thanks.

I had the same issue. I answered with the 'non' after the è and I got it wrong. I was sure I had seen the 'non' after the verb before…. Is it always before the verb?

"Non è la mia tazza" was also taken as a correct answer.

[gelfo]

Yeah, to me tazza is more correct than bicchiere, which is a glass.

So 'non è mia tazza' is incorrect. Is it supposed to translate it is not the cup of me? No explanation why you need la in this sentence
