"vite" is the infinitive form that would follow a modal auxiliary verb such as "vil" or "kan." "Vet" is the present tense of the verb: "Jeg vet" = "I know" v. "Jeg vil vite" = "I want to know." It wasn't explained very well earlier on and it took me awhile to figure it out.

adverbs like “ikke” follow verbs in Norwegian grammar. Except when they don’t, such as in dependent clauses
