Перевод - Голландский-Английский - Het is niet? Maar het is mijn...

Isn't it?

Hi, Lilian
I'm not sure. In the original stands "Het is niet?". "Isn't it?" would mean "Is het niet?". But I'm still not sure.

OK Maki, let's use either "Isn't it" or "Isn't that" which will be correct in English, and the poll will tell us if the other users agree.
Pick one and edit, then I'll set a poll.

I've made the changes. I hope it'll be ok.

Er klopt iets niet!

It's very difficult to say if this is correct. The original text doesn't make much sense. The question isn't in proper Dutch. Literally translated it would be "It's not". But that is not a question. And the second sentence is incomplete and could be translated as "But it's my ...".

This is of course an odd little half-sentence but it gives the impression there's something following 'mijn' as in Dutch we wouldn't say 'dit is mijn' (would be 'dit is van mij'). I think therefor the translation should be 'but it is my...'

I think it should be:
It is not? But its my..
Because in the dutch sentense the meaning is different from the english translation.

I think so, too. But is "It is not?" correct in English?

In my opinion it's an abbreviated sentence (eg from a textbook how to learn dutch or something like that). there should be something behind the word 'niet' and since there isn't, any translation is a mere guess. so I'm guessing they want to say 'het is niet..(X)..? translating into: it isn't...(X)..?

Isn't it? But it's mine...

It is not ?But it is my...

It is not? But it is mine. <that's directly translated

Hi Maki, I've edited it differently and set a new poll.

Is n't it? But it's my..

mijn = mine not my
