"She cannot believe it."

Translation: Hun kan ikke tro det.

[iamcrover]

Can you not ommit the 'kan' for the same meaning? - 'hun tro ikke det'

[KirkEasterson]

No, that would translate to "She is not believing it." She may have the ability to believe it, but she refuses to. See what I mean?

[JohnGardne7]

Both "tro det" and "tro på det" are accepted. Is there a difference in meaning or usage?

[Amin663889]

Good question!

[vatnid]

Why is "Hun kan ei tro det" correct?

[Luke_5.1991]

"Ei" is another form of "ikke." We took it out of best translations, so it won't appear again here.

[calcastor]

When can it be used?

[Luke_5.1991]

It's fairly uncommon compared to "ikke," but it is used interchangeably with "ikke."

[calcastor]

Ah okay. Is it still accepted as a translation?

[Luke_5.1991]

Yes.
