A lone figure, seen from behind, stands at a fork in a snow-covered forest path in rural Sweden. One path leads off into deeper woods, and the figure is clearly turning away from it, silhouetted against soft, diffused winter light, conveying a sense of quiet decision and deliberate absence.

Lesson#1
In Swedish, you make a statement negative by using the word 'inte', which means 'not'. In everyday speech, where you place 'inte' depends on how your sentence begins. In this deck, you will learn to use 'inte' in standard statements and in sentences that begin with time words like 'today' and 'now'.
Lesson#2
In a standard statement that starts with a subject, 'inte' comes immediately after the finite verb. With the verb 'är', meaning 'am', 'is', or 'are', 'inte' comes straight after 'är'. For example, 'Hon är inte hemma' means 'She is not at home'.
Quiz#3
Translate into Swedish: 'She is not at home.'

Hon är inte hemma

Quiz#4
Translate into Swedish: 'I am not tired.'

Jag är inte trött

Quiz#5
Translate into Swedish: 'He is not here.'

Han är inte här

Lesson#6
The same rule applies to the verb 'har', meaning 'have' or 'has'. Place 'inte' directly after 'har'. For example, 'Vi har inte bil' means 'We do not have a car'.
