Negation in Swedish
.
To make a Swedish sentence negative we use the word "inte".
We put it in different positions in a sentence depending on if it is a main clause or a subordinate clause.
Example:
MAIN CLAUSE
"Jag gillar inte glass, eftersom jag är allergisk mot mjölk." <-- "inte" is placed after the verb
(I do not like ice cream, because I am allergic to milk.)
.
SUBORDINATE CLAUSE
"Eftersom jag inte gillar glass, äter jag frukt istället." <-- "inte" is placed before the verb
(Because I do not like ice cream, I eat fruit instead.)
