"She is not my aunt."

Translation: Sie ist nicht meine Tante.

[ArvindhMani]

"Der Rock ist für meine Tante"
"Sie ist nicht meine Tante"

Then who is the damn skirt for, Duo?!!!

[GhostAlexMercer]

is "sie ist meine Tante nicht" also correct?

[quis_lib_duo]

No, that might only work in a very poetic fashion.

Yes, I had the same question, about having nicht at the end of the sentence. I could swear I saw this configuration previously, or was I dreaming? If so, generally speaking, does the nicht go after the verb that it is negating?

[narion_k]

No, you're not imagining it. It's quite common to end German sentences in "nicht". I'm not sure why it doesn't work here.

I try to picture it like this: nicht at the end negates the verb "ist" - which is kinda silly, it's like negating existence of Sie. What you mean, is that this particular person, while still existing, does not have the title of meine Tante - so you negate specifically this phrase.

Thanks, so it's like "she is, but she isn't my aunt"

[Brett172996]

Why must nicht come directly after the verb in this case?
