Why not jeg ikke drikker vin?

[dtgerhardt]

In Danish, central adverbs like "ikke" are (almost) always after both the subject and verb. One of those things you just have to memorize I guess :)

[ctangsgaard]

"ikke" goes before the verb when it's a subordinate clause and after the verb when it's a main clause

In what possible scenario would I not be drinking wine?

[youssabbyg]

Det gør jeg aldrig .
