"Flickan älskar inte oss."

Translation: The girl does not love us.

[UnusualPetris]

Det är inte ni, det är jag

[yourdyingi]

det är dig inte, det är mig

[yourdyingi]

you, you are the best human being to ever live

[JuanmaOdriozola]

So much feelings in just one sentence

[Roberts.Vaitkus]

Why "Flickan älskar inte oss" the word "inte" is in different position than in "Jag älskar dig inte"?

[marziye_m7]

Yes this is my problem too

[Eric125005]

Whew for a minute there I thought she didn't eat cheese.

[yourdyingi]

me too

[eac5137]

Am I hearing bad or the "e" of inte is not pronounced?

[Zmrzlina]

It's there. Keep listening. ;)

[yourdyingi]

i've heard that people that speak Swedish want to go to the end of a word, phrase or sentence faster, so "tjugoett" (twenty one) would be pronounced (shoog ett) instead of (shoog o ett). I hope this makes sense

[AndrewDelg15]

I challenged the system and wrote,"The girl loves not us."

...It said I was wrong...

hello yoda

[Jackswede]

Can anyone tell me why it is not "Flickan älskar oss inte"? Thank you

[AgarwaenGorthol]

Why does "inte" come before the object pronoun in this case?
In "Jag älskar dig inte" it was after.
Is there any rule for this?

[Luke360-550-0094]

here i just answered this to "jackswede", take a look

[Kripex1]

Why isn't this correct? : The girl does not like us

[Arnauti]

'likes' is tycker om or gillar in Swedish, but älskar is 'loves'.

[Ayrincharles]

Can I use tjei instead of flicka?

[Arnauti]

tjej, yes.

[AhmedAmine448576]

I said "the girl loves us not", and it said that I was wrong XD

[Super-Svensk]

Not standard English word order, not an accepted answer.

[Mnr_Volkstaat]

Ever heard of William Shakespeare?

[yourdyingi]

i mean some people could say "the girl loves us. NOT", but it isn't good grammar it's like a slangish kind of thing

[Luke360-550-0094]

hi yoda

[Luke360-550-0094]

dang it, my dreams r crushed

[EricoleRay]

I have been trying to search more information and wonder why this "inte" will shift , somehow I didn't get any , hope any native speaker can solve this, but i did some silly translate and realize , some pronouns , the "inte" shifted too !

Hon älskar mig inte
Hon älskar dig inte
Hon älskar henne inte
Hon älskar dem inte

Hon älskar inte honom
Hon älskar inte det
Hon älskar inte oss

So any native speaker can explain or are they all the same?

[AgarwaenGorthol]

Not a native speaker, but from what I gathered it's similar to german:
Both are correct, but the meaning slightly changes with the position of inte: Flickan älskar oss inte = The girl does not love us; Flickan älskar inte oss = The girl does not love us (but someone else).

[AgarwaenGorthol]

Found another post with the same problem. See the explanation of Arnauti:

[EricoleRay]

Thanks mate !
Yeah , I got that question and give me a huge question mark !
But now is clear , I read through the explanation from user Arnauti , well explained !

[coco479358]

Muss be correct does not and doesn"t are the ssme meaning

[IxfKPz0r]

I gave the correct a answer. I was not wrong.

[IxfKPz0r]

I answered it correctly again and was marked wring

[NatalieFir6]

Why in previous examples it was "Hon alskar mig inte"? I wonder about the placement of the "inte".

[Trilby16]

In a previous sentence, inte came after the pronoun. So?

[AgarwaenGorthol]

So it has a slightly different meaning. See my explanation above.

[deactivated user]

what did you do...?

[An8jcL]

Shouldn't it be "Flicka älskar oss inte."? I am confused.
