"That is not" is "das ist nicht" in English.
It means "the" ^this is kinda right^ Das depending on its context can mean, this, that, or the. Like many German words 'das' encompasses more of an idea than a single meaning. Das basically means a singular thing.
English "the gum" means German "das Gummi".
"Vas is das" is not a correct phrase in any language. It may be a mix of German and English, where "was ist das" in German means "what is that" in English.
