"Das akzeptieren wir nicht."

Translation: We do not accept that.

[Sajidur]

"Wir akzeptieren das nicht?" - is it also correct ?

[Der-Michael]

Yes that is also correct.

Hallo! I just wanted to add to this that while "Wir akzeptieren das nicht?" is a correct German phrase, Duolingo is using the "Das" in the first position to emphasize it's importance. :)

Why is "That, we do not accept" wrong. Is it grammatically incorrect?

[MrMilosz]

That I don't think is unusual at all. I'm a native English speaker and I frequently use that form to place emphasis on the object. For example, consider this exchange:

• "We accept $20 bills"
• "I only have a $100 bill"
• "That we do not accept"

The comma is not grammatically correct, though it seems yours is a pacing comma (often used in slogans, but not recommended for technical writing.)

What is the difference between 'annehmen' and 'akzeptieren' (if any)?

From the word bank, I instinctively selected "We don't accept Turks." Gosh darn it. Why was that an option?

[eeve1994]

Could 'We can not accept that' also be a valid answer?

[Minervas37]

No. "We can not accept that." translates to "Wir können das nicht akzeptieren." and states that it is not possible for us to accept it no matter if we want it or not. The original sentences express a decision we have made. We have agreed that we will not accept that.

What's wrong with "We won't accept that"?

[Der-Michael]

That would be a correct translation as well.

I tried "buy" rather than "accept" as both words were given as translations for akzeptieren. The English expression, "I don't buy that," can mean I don't believe you, your explanation, your excuse, etc.

[Minervas37]

The equivalent to the expression: "I don't buy that." is "Das kaufe ich dir nicht ab."
