"Tari ini bukan untuk anak kecil."

Translation: This dance is not for little children.

[CherylTrin]

The literal translation of "anak kecil" is "little children" but what is important in this sentance, that the children are little, or that they are young? Is the dance OK for a 5 year old giant but not OK for a 12 year old dwarf?

I put "This dance is not for young children" because size is most likely not the issue but age is.

Children is anak kecil

[WayangOrang]

child = anak
children = anak-anak

little child = anak kecil
little children = anak-anak kecil

Why is "bukan" used here? Isn't this word supposed to negate a noun-to-noun or pronoun-to-noun relationship? This seems interchangeable with "tidak" in this case.
