If you want to sound like a native intellectual, use 'нима' to start a sentence when you disagree with someone's logic. It's more elegant than saying 'I don't believe you'.
If you want to sound like a native storyteller, remove the 'е' (is) from the 3rd person past tense. It immediately adds a layer of 'once upon a time' or 'I heard that'.
