    How about "I am not interested in him"?

        Why can't you use "i" instead of "av"?

          I guess, because "av" means something like "about", not in (inside) him

            I think the meaning is the same, but using 'got' makes the sentence sound a little clumsy.

            Could "... om honom" work?

            No, intresse can't have the preposition om. You could however use för.

              " I haven't got any interest in him" is apparently not the same ?

                But the Swedish av is translated in?
