Hello,
I'm not sure if the sentence is correct, especially the "are you".
Are they too strong, are you too weak.
(It is not supposed to be a question.)
At least this is how it would be in German in a commercial called Fisherman's friend.
In the English versions they just say: "It's Invigorating".
Anyway I would like to know if the main sentence is correct.

Cheers!

(It is not supposed to be a question.) But it is a question, so there should be a question mark at the end. The other problem is the comma in the middle. There should be a semicolon there, or there should be two separate sentences.


Cheers!

Thank you.
Okay, I believe the first part could be a question but the second part is not a question.

Do you think it should be:
Are they too strong; you are to weak!

Ok, probably that's the right sentence...

Cheers!

Thank you.

Do you think it should be:
Are they too strong; you are to weak! I have no way of knowing what it should be.

Ok, probably that's the right sentence...The blue sentence is not correct.
'Are they too strong? You are too weak.' are correct sentences.
