"You do not walk."

Translation: Jullie lopen niet.

[barmalini18]

"Jij loopt niet" sounds to me as a perfectly correct translation, but is not accepted. Am I wrong here?

[Bellaen.k]

You are not wrong. The english "you" can be both plural and singular. In Dutch you have a difference between jij (singular) and jullie (plural). But this English sentence is completely ambiguous about whether it is plural or singular.

[Kayleigh119720]

I am Dutch and in English you just translate jullie and jij to you so both are correct.

[FatMorton]

This does not specify pl. vs sg. I wrote Je loopt niet and got it wrong when it could be interpreted that way (correctly)

[telepathic_onion]

is u niet lopen acceptable?

[DutchDuoL]

Nope, but "U loopt niet" is, I suppose that is what you meant.

[DarrenLasso]

What about "Jullie geen lopen"? Is that correct?

[sau102]

Geen is not used with verb and adjective. Niet does. Geen goes with nouns

[lingolas7]

looks to me that the word order is often similar to German:
du gehst nicht/ Sie gehen nicht,
like "NetherLance" (great name!) suggested:
U loopt niet, I suggest: jij loopt niet
can someone confirm?

[lingolas7]

sounds like " you not walk" instead of "you do not/don't walk" >>word order!

[Marguerite1967]

Why is it lopen and not loopt.?

[iccolo]

Is you always lopen or is there ever a time where you use loopt?

[barmalini18]

plural you is always lopen, whilst the singular would be - loopt

[Ilene411258]

Why does this have to be plural?

[Johan232960]

Is "lopen" not "to run" and "gaan" to walk ?

[Kayleigh119720]

Lopen means walking and gaan means to go

[Adamdodda3]

what is wrong with je loop niet

[Ashlee517732]

Ok so... this is actually not right, i am dutch and if you say: You cannot walk. The ddutch translation is actually jij kan niet lopen. Its not jullie because of jullie translating into They or they both. I hope this was usefull and im sorry if this comes over as mean ( plus my english is really bad, sorry.)
