"Jeg liker deg ikke."

Translation: I don't like you.

[Cececherry]

Thanks, Duolingo

[NordicSpirit]

I would prefer "I see you as a friend" but okay.

[emsixteen]

Is 'jeg liker ikke deg' correct, too?

[Luke_5.1991]

It's far less common, and it places a special emphasis on "you," meaning that you actually might like someone else. "Jeg liker deg ikke" is the preferable translation because it doesn't hint at any subtext.

[eva.lyus]

so it is like:
I don't like "you" (but him)
and
I don't like you (at all)

[joselareta]

Would the literal translation be 'I like you not'?

duo i thought we had something special

[paulatnvargas]

Why is the negative in the end of the sentence? I read that ikke should be after the verb

[Deliciae]

That is indeed the case for regular nouns, but for pronouns you have two options. Beware that the placement of "ikke" relative to the pronoun subtly changes the meaning of the sentence:

"Jeg elsker henne ikke." = "I do not love her." (neutral) or "I do not LOVE her." (but I like her a lot)
"Jeg elsker ikke henne." = "I do not love HER." (but someone else)

Linn, thanks. Jeg liker deg. Purple hair and all. Mark 16May16

[Deliciae]

Takk i like måte! Better late than never... right?

[HiMeCriss]

In Swedish the negation comes before and after the pronoun from what I know, for instance "Jag tycker om inte dig". Is it also the case in Norwegian?

[aghastinagharta]

Jeg liker ikke deg. Jeg elsker deg.

[JohnMendoz775908]

Saw in the comments that saying "Jeg liker deg ikke" has a different meaning compared to "Jeg liker ikke deg"

Does this mean that you can say something like "Jeg liker kjøtt ikke" and have it be different from "Jeg liker ikke kjøtt" or does it only work in specific cases?

[PlanZeta.AG]

I have issues with words "du" "dere" and now "deg", any suggestion?

[ErinL396857]

Please, anyone, correct me if I am wrong but I am going to attempt to answer both to help a fellow learner and check to see if my understanding is correct.

Du= You as in "You are eating an apple". The 'you' here is the subject.

Dere= You, like the above example but referring to multiple people. **Anyone: can it also be used in a generic and/or more formal way?

Deg= you as in "I am eating an apple with you". The 'you' here is NOT the subject; we aren't talking about you, we are talking about me (eating the apple) and you are an object. You'd use it the same way as you'd use 'her' or 'him'. (You wouldn't say " I am eating an apple with she".)

Example:

I love you= Jeg elkser deg.
You love me= Du elkser meg.

[FatCatOnDiscord]

very nice of you wasn't it
