I typed "The man eats the chicken, not the rice." I thought it didn't matter whether you conjugate the verb or not? It might just be a little glitch! Please let me know if you know why this was wrong.

That's the other accepted translation, actually. If you're sure you wrote exactly that, then Duolingo gave you a bug.

As Samyueru. said, you've added a "but" that isn't in the Swedish sentence.

In french, it is "L'homme mange le poulet, pas le riz"
Do "inte" function like "pas"? I understand French better than English, tho.

In this case, yes. In general, though, Swedish negations are different from French.
