"No, not tea. Water is fine."

Translation: नहीं, चाय नहीं। पानी ठीक है।

[amylafleur]

What determines the placement of the second negative behind chai in this?

[vyX2dK6g]

this is a difficult question in getting the correct word order. I got नहीं, चाय पानी ठीक है। but I did not put in नहीं and it was incorrect. Any ideas?

[zeebo7]

Yeah, this sentence needs two नहीं to be a correct translation of 'no, not tea'. Your translation needs a sentence break too (as the english sentence has).

[HettyAlyse]

could you not have नहीं, चाय नहीं है पानी ठीक है।?

[AthulGabriel]

If you put चाय नही है , it will mean "it is not tea" or "there is no tea"

[PrajitDhar]

That translates as "No, it is not tea, water is fine." due to the first है.

[HettyAlyse]

I know there's not the option to select two है, i'm just wondering if my instinct is wrong

[Owen-Benjambavan]

i didn't see the sentence break, first time encountering it and there was no explanation of where it is invoked, will try the space bar or the period character next time i get the chance.

Nahin chai nahin pani tihk hai

[marie.nune]

Why is it not: नहीं, नहीं चाय। पानी ठीक है।

[vinay92]

When you negate something in Hindi, the नहीं goes after the subject (ie, before the verb if it is explicitly included).

Eg:
Q: 'Who is going to Delhi'? A: 'Not me'.
Q: ' दिल्ली कौन जा रहा है?' A: 'मैं नहीं (जा रहा)।

Similarly,
Q: Do you want tea? A: No, not tea.
Q: क्या तुम्हे चाय चाहिए? A: नहीं, चाय नहीं (चाहिए)।
