Why is "Tandbørsten er ren ikke men beskidt" incorrect?

    Because in a main clause, ikke comes just after the subject and the finite verb.

      Please, does "tandbørst" have stød?

        Do you not use uden instead of men in this kind of sentence?

          Uden means "without" so, no...

          Should there be a comma before "but" in the English sentence?

          Hvad med den danske sætning? Skal der være en komma før "men"?
