"I don't want to work" was wrong... Am I going mad?

[22879]

maybe it just does not accept contractions.

What is the difference between "arbeta" and "arbete"?

I do not want to work = Jag vill inte arbeta

but

It is important to find work = Det är viktigt att få arbete

I am confused. Can someone explain?

[MarkBorkBorkBork]

arbete is a noun. arbeta is the infinitive form of the verb.

[Jeanbean425734]

Thank you! :D

Read my mind just I attempt to do a few exercises before work, would much rather be doing Swedish! (:

Is there a difference between "I do not want to work" and "I refuse to work"?

[JohannDunn]

From what I can see, 'I refuse' would be 'jag vägrar'.

In case its useful, in terms of meaning, 'I do not want to work' is describing how you feel about working, not whether or not you do it. For example you might not want to work but do it anyway.

'I refuse to work' is about not doing the work, and says nothing about how you feel about working. e.g. you might really want to work, but are on strike so you refuse.

[Sandor.olah]

I know the feeling
