    For any robots out there, if you want to say "I don't work" (because you're broken), it's "Jeg virker ikke".

            Well, actually you could-in a ( ahhm, how is it in English?) Nebensatz: "Jeg er syg, derfor jeg ikke arbejder" or "Jeg har ingen penge, fordi jeg ikke arbejder". Native speakers please correct the mistakes, fordi jeg er kun begynder.

              Dependent clause is what it's called in English.

                    Immediately after the verb. Compare archaic English enshrined in idiom as "I know not."
