NEGATIVES

Negation is expressed by using the adverb "inte" (not). It is usually placed immediately after the verb in a main clause. In compound tenses, "inte" comes between the auxiliary and the main verb:

Jag talar svenska. = I speak Swedish.

Jag talar inte svenska. = I do not speak Swedish.

Hon har inte skrivit. = She has not written.
