"Bin ich nicht clever?"

Translation: How clever am I?

[iLawrence]

Being Australian, I prefer 'aren't I clever' I tried it but it doesn't work.

[Sk8rMom]

I try to stay away from contractions in these translations, because I never know if they will be accepted.

[slug_a_bed]

It worked for me. They must've fixed it.

[VanX-IInX]

I would like to ask if the above translation is correct and if "Am i not clever?" is an incorrect translation for english native speakers. Guten tag.

[Sk8rMom]

"Am I not clever?" is a better translation, I agree.

[nat10sk2]

I tried it and it was correct, so they might have fixed it

[gwenkkelly]

"Aren't I clever?" should be accepted.

[saskiaread]

I agree, 'aren't I clever' sounds more natural and should be accepted

[MusicMan82]

Agreed. I'm an American native English speaker, and I'd even go so far as to say that no one I know would ever say "am I not clever?" We would definitely only say "aren't I clever?". "How clever am I" also seems acceptable.

[SlyRatchet]

Wouldn't "HOW clever am I?" require a "wie" in there? As in "Wie clever bin ich?"?

[surfoutsider]

clever is schlau. In Germany they say, schlau wie ein Fuchs! Clever like a fox!

[Sk8rMom]

Isn't "schlau" "sly?"

Reminds me of a line from Island of Dr. Moreau. "Sind wir nicht Männer?"
