“これはコンピュタがきらいじゃありません。”
Would this work as a sentence and turn out to mean something like, “I don’t hate this computer”?Also, if I did this, “これはわたしのコンピュタがきらいじゃありません。”, Would this just change the meaning to “I don’t hate my computer”?
Just want to verify this, thanks in advanced…..

毎秒は一世一代。Drop the これは part from the second sentence otherwise it translates to something like “I don’t hate this my computer”
わたしのコンピュタがきらいじゃありません or 私のコンピュータが嫌いじゃありません would be more correct I think.
Instead of これは, say この to mean “this computer”.
Aye. これは would be “this is the computer that I don’t hate”. Also, コンピュータ or コンピューター.
But for the question itself: yes, きらいじゃない for “don’t dislike” is an appropriate formation. =)
If you’re a dude, though, it might be interpreted as “I like this computer.” They’re roundabout like that sometimes.
Eh. To me, the order of amount-of-liking is
大好き
好き
嫌いじゃない
好きでも嫌いでもありません
好きじゃない
嫌い
大嫌いUnless you’re being the male equivalent of tsundere, I guess. =P
Instead of これは, say この to mean “this computer”.
Wait, so what is the difference between これは and この？
By this I mean more so, could I still use これは and it would mean pretty much the same thing as この?
(in other words, is この just a faster/more natural way of saying ‘this’ than これは, or is it something more?)毎秒は一世一代。この, その and あの go before a noun.
これは = This is [something] – for example, これはコンピューターです = this is a computer.
この[noun] = This [something] – for example, このコンピューターはうるさいです = this computer is noisy.
これは = This is [something] – for example, これはコンピューターです = this is a computer.
この[noun] = This [something] – for example, このコンピューターはうるさいです = this computer is noisy.So given your examples, would ”これはコンピューターはうるさいです” = “this is a noisy computer”? Or would it translate into some unfortunate unhappy, such as “This computer this noisy” or something else nonsensical…
毎秒は一世一代。Well, like in English, if an adjective is modifying a noun, it goes before the noun. So the sentence would be これはうるさいコンピューターです. You wouldn’t use two は particles in a sentence unless you’re specifically making a comparison (or a direct quotation).
