How can I translate "You don't drink (a cup of) coffee?" into Japanese?
Konnichiwa!
I just studied about the "Masen Ka" verbal suffix which is said to turn the sentence into some sort of an invitation.
Now I'm a little confused....
If "(Watashi wa) Koohii o nomimasen ka" is translated as "Won't you drink (a cup of) coffee?" in English, then how can I ask someone in Japanese if he/she doesn't drink coffee?
Thanks!

I think the same sentence would be fine, if the context was different, but if you're uncomfortable with that... Just saying "tomu-san wa koohi ga kirai desu ka?" (Do you dislike coffee, Tom?) would be fine.

彼 は コーヒー を 飲まない (の)ですか。
Kare wa coffee wo nomanai (no) desuka
It means that it's his custom.

I'm assuming you meant 私と
Anyway, use ね
コーヒーを飲みませんね。
I don't recommend 嫌い It is way too strong.

Argh! I can no longer edit my question!
What I mean is "'Anata wa' koohii o nomimasen ka", not "Watashi wa".
Also, the Base language of this question obviously isn't Filipino (which is my native language) but for some reason, it doesn't include English as an option.
