How do you say “My car is not big. But, it’s not small either”?


I am having trouble finding out if I’m correct on this.

The statement I would like to translate is,

`My car is not big, but it’s not small either`.

With the knowledge I have, it would be `わたしのくるまはおおきくないです。でも、ちいさくないです。`

But then the second statement doesn’t really provide a “too.” If I repeat the
topic, as such:

[code]

    わたしのくるまも~
    
[/code]

…isn’t that “against the rule” or it sounds unnatural?

I am a total beginner in Japanese. But even then, I can’t seem to find the
right answer to this.

I hope you can help me. Arigato gouzamaisu! ^_^




も applies to the thing it is attached to. 私｛わたし｝の車｛くるま｝も小｛ちい｝さくないです。 is 'My
car is not small, either' maybe in comparison to another car.

For sentences like this, you want to use は and も in tandem, on the adjective.
私｛わたし｝の車｛くるま｝は大｛おお｝きく **は** ないですが、小｛ちい｝さく **も** ないです。 This は acts is a
contrastive は, I believe, acting almost like emphasis - 'My car is not _big_ ,
but it's not small, _either_.'
