| Jan 28, 2019 at 15:00 | comment | added | Philipp | As you wrote, you were sure that “Ich habe keinen Hund” is correct (which is true). You then expressed confusion about a rule you learned and asked, why something is wrong in German while it is correct in English. If you accept Janka’s statement that “[it’s] grammatical, [but] no one talks like this” and her repetition of what you already knew as an answer, than it’s not too broad. If you expect an answer to your question (why is it wrong in German?), than I believe it’s too broad. | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 14:00 | comment | added | EJoshuaS - Stand with Ukraine | @Philipp Also, the fact that people were able to give complete answers in a couple of paragraphs implies that this question is not too broad. | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 13:57 | comment | added | EJoshuaS - Stand with Ukraine | @Philipp I'm asking why a specific sentence is correct. | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 9:59 | comment | added | Philipp | I’m voting to close this question as too broad, because it is not about the correctness of a single sentence (OP knows the correct one), but why the language behaves in a certain way as opposed to another language (English). | |
