Could it be 'dommeren siger det er ikke lovligt'? I don't understand yet when I have to/can use 'ikke' before or after the verb it is negating.

Only if you use it as a quotation

What is wrong with the word order here?

Why not "the judge says it is not allowed"?

Because ''legal'' and ''allowed'' are two different things.

Yes but lovligt.. Does lov only mean law in danish, and not also permission, like in swedish?

Illegal is the English translation of "not legal"

Unlawful not accepted

Wht not that instead of it

I wrote "is illegal" instead of "isn't legal" and it didn't accept it

Is anyone able to explain why 'ikke' is not after 'er'. I am struggling to find any explanation for this.
