¿Cómo se dice la frase inglesa "not only but also" en español?
I know the words no, ni, tambien but I couldn't found a way to put together all of these. If I had any mistake in writing, I would appreciate any corrections. Thank you..

Question

Answer

Hi there!
Not only...but also = "no sólo...sino también"
For example: "We visited not only Chicago but also New York" means "Nosotros no sólo visitamos Chicago sino también New York" in spanish.

Regards:)

Answer

I would also say "no sólo...sino también".

I would not say "no sólo...pero también" because negative constructions must take "sino" and not "pero".

Answer

i want to give you this example with this expression:
 yo quiero pagar "no solamente estas naranjas, sino tambien estos bananos"

Answer

Creo que se dice " no solo pero tambien"

Answer

thanks for your help. I understand it better now. Using this phrase in an example sentence made it easier to understand and saying why the other answer is wrong was also helpful.
