Actually, I am not Chinese. But for some reasons, I am interested in both mandarin and cantonese.

sorry,i was typin chinese,for my laziness,i didn;t transfer the input.so i have to type in capitals

but anyway,coudl u tell me why i shouldn' t do that? is capital have some kind of limit in writing?waht situations can i use?
like,when the girls see harry potter,some of them will lift the board writes"MARRY ME"! can i use in that kind of situation?

It doesn't have anything to do with Harry Potter, actually. It's a non-written rule. CAPITALS indicate shouting, or generally aggressive comments. It is frowned upon in many places, and writing in ALL-CAPS will even get you banned in some forums or IRC channels, for example.

Cases in which it is okay (though not recommended) to use ALL-CAPS is when you're either angry or very very happy.

Example wrote:ARRRRRGH THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! >_<

Example 2 wrote:OMG YEAH I DID IT!!

Although the examples above also express a tad of n00bness... Anyways.

So... I suggest you avoid this laziness you mentioned, and change to lowercase letters upon switching from Chinese to English.

Désolé, mais ça ne va pas être possible.

D'abord, l'anglais "I don't think so" signifie simplement NON. Inutile d'aller chercher plus loin.

Ensuite, en allemand, on peut dire "(Das) glaube ich nicht", "(Das) würde ich nicht (so) sagen", "Das glaube ich kaum".... et des tas d'autres dans le genre. Mais ça ne veut pas dire "I don't think so", mais exprime un doute réel de vous même sur vous même par vous même.

Un Allemand qui dirait "Ich denke nicht", il ne pense pas..... du tout. Que dalle, pas une pensée qui traine.... rien. Le néant cérébral. Du coup, ça m'étonnerait que dans cet état, il prenne la peine de nous le dire.

Ceci dit, Ich denke nicht est possible dans un cas particulier:

"Je pense" que A "n'est pas" => Ich denke: nicht.
On fait l'élipse de A, ce dont il est question dans la conversation, et on accolle juste l'expression de l'opinion (ich denke), et l'expression de la réprobation (nicht) de l'énoncé A omis.

Désolé pour le HS, c'est juste pour montrer qu'on est à des années lumières de l'anglais I don't think so.
