See the issue above? You could say:

Person B: いいえ、けいざいじゃありません。コンピューター� ��す。

I actually personally never say ~~じゃありません and neither do many other Japanese-speakers but if that's what you learn, let's not discuss it.

I use ~~ではありません. I couldn't quite see how someone could stand the imbalance between the highly casual じゃ and the not so casual ありません.
Thanks for the help so instead of ja armasen I can use ではありません. And I have a question about grammer the ね or よ. Ne is used for agreement?? And yo is used in a sentences like let me assure you tonkatsu is not fish. Is that how u would use them in a sentences ??


Planning on saving y leave to take a trip to japan !! ( Researching right now though)
