Shouldn't it be "Nicht mein Vater"?

I'm sorry. I think that I need to sleep!
It's the same "Nicht mein Vater" and "Mein Vater nicht"?

I was confused, which is the real translation?

The real translation is "Nein. Mein Vater nicht.", this is a discussion about it. Now, you must wait, because a expert need to evaluate it.

Still, there is a little difference between "Mein Vater nicht" and "Nicht mein Vater":

"Mein Vater nicht" could be used in a context like "My mother is really good at sewing but mein Vater nicht", whereas "Nicht mein Vater" could stand in a sentence like "Who is good at sewing? Doch nicht mein Vater!?".

I don't know if there is a difference in emphasis in Portuguese too when you change the word order of that little sentence. Is there?

So, maybe it should be "Nicht mein Vater". I don't know. I'm a little bit confused.

I accepted it the way it was. There is simply not enough context given to find out, what the requester wants to say exactly.

Maybe I'm coming a bit belated now, but, if I can still help, I'd say that the Portuguese original means:

1) "No, not my father!" (he wouldn't be capable of doing such a thing!)

- or -

2) 1) "No, not my father!" (it would be someone else, but not my father!)

That's indeed helpful (and exactly what I tried to find out - but I guess no one but you understood my complicated question )! ..And exactly the opposite version than the one I've just accepted. I will change it. Thanks, goncin!

I don't know if I received the points of the translation, because I don't see any points of german in my profile...

It's because I didn't know, how many "points" to give you, so I accepted the translation without a rating.

I am deeply grateful for the attention you are giving to my sentence "No. My father did not." I want to help and say that in the Romance, the phrase is used by a girl of 6 years to see his father died and she exclaims: No. My father did not! in German.
Actually, goncin gave a hint interesting. The girl uses the phrase, meaning just that: (it would be someone else, but not my father!).

Thanks, friends
