"यह मत करो!"

Translation: Do not do this!

[_decca_]

I wrote "don't do this". There's no option to report it right now but it should be accepted.

Next time it comes up, write that sentence and you’ll get the option to report by “my sentence should be correct” or similar. It only shows when your answer is rejected.

Ya it should be accepted

Similarly, what is wrong with "यह नहीं करो!" ? Thanks

The other comments I've seen from (presumably) native speakers just say "I don't know why, but we just don't do it that way."

I guess तुम just has an active aspect of "don't do!" while नहीं is more of a statement of "is not"?

[LangPhile]

And also the fact that:
नहीं करो।
Can mean: No, just do it.
मत करो।
Can not mean: No, do it.

[LangPhile]

And that
नहीं would need a comma.
But I'd use both to mean the same though!

[LangPhile]

Yes and no!
We tend to use
मत when we make imperatives, in assertion, we use both sometimes:
मैंने कहा नहीं करो। = I said, "Don't do."
मैंने कहा मत करो।= I said, "Don't do."

[AparnaV10]

I wrote do not do this but when I am submitting the answer it is coming that I wrote do not do

It's wrong! Duolingo
