Re: [wanabidii] Re: [Mabadiliko] English Grammar

Abby,

You're right except for a small detail.

In the first one, Warsama has been accused of being a tribalist, a hateful character and a sympathizer of terrorists. But he is saying that he's not.

In the second one, someone has said that Warsama is not a tribalist, a hateful character or a sympathizer of terrorists. But he's not agreeing with what has been said. He's thus confirming that he's these things.

I'm getting myself confused here too but I think I get it now.

Courage

Today I want to try something different in our weekly column; I want to give you folks something to stretch your brains over. I'll use a very familiar scenario to make it easy for everyone to try this out. Here we go:

What's the difference between these 2 statements?

1. Warsama has denied that he's a tribalist, hateful character or sympathizer of terrorists.

2. Warsama has denied that he's not a tribalist, hateful character or sympathizer of terrorists.
