How do you say this in Spanish? "I am not a nina (child) but a chica (adolescent)"?

Question

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Yo no soy una nina pero una adolescente/muchachita/mujercita <whatever you choose>

Answer 2

No soy un niño sino un chico

Translation:

No soy = I am not

un = a

niño = child (masculin)

sino = but

And you can figure out the rest.

(change to niña/chica if girl)

Answer 3

Hmm...if it is for writing (as in fiction), this sounds like an important statement.

You´d want to go with this:

¡No soy una niña, pero una mujer!

Mujer is woman, but also denotates maturity and independence.

Or, you could use just ¨chica¨which is teenager.

In my opinion, mujer is a stronger word.

Answer 4

No soy una niña sino soy una chica

Chica means girl and not adolescent[adolicente]

Chiquita means little girl like in baby girl.

Answer 5

No soy una niña, sino una chica (or "una joven"). This sentence is said by a girl.

A boy would say:

No soy un niño, sino un chico (or "un joven", "un muchacho").

And you have to say "sino", not "pero". English have only BUT, Spanish has two words (pero and sino) used in different cases.

Answer 6

well i am not = no estoy

but you dont want to say nina or chica because those are feminine and based on your avatar i would say youre not a female

so you would say nino and chico

i am not a child but an adolescent = no estoy un nino, pero un chico
