You are not knowing is grammatically correct or not?

"You are not knowing" is grammatically incorrect in standard English.

Here's why:

* Present Continuous vs. Simple Present: The phrase uses the present continuous tense ("are knowing"). However, the verb "know" is a state verb (describes a state of being), and state verbs are generally not used in continuous tenses.

* Correct Form: You should use the simple present tense: "You do not know" or "You don't know."
