negations Actually, it's a simple sentence, but i got totally confused. How do i say the following: Ello es totalmente analfabeto. No sólo no sabe escribir, sino que sabe leer. (o 'sino sabe leer?' o something else??) (= no sabe leer ni escribir) Help me, please. :D Thanks

There is a mistake in the sentence, it should be: No sólo no sabe escribir sino que además no sabe leer. Or, No sólo no sabe escribir, sino que tampoco sabe leer. Both, the first, and the second part of the sentence must be denied. Thus you can add "además no" or "tampoco" ("tampoco" is always negative, so there is no need of "no"). También = тоже Tampoco = тоже не. A shorter version would be: Él no sabe ni escribir ni leer. I hope this helps.

Hi there Denis! The correct form would be: Él/ella es completamente/totalmente analfabeto(a). No sólo no sabe escribir, sino que tampoco sabe leer. Hope this helps! :)
