Review Summary

  • Subject + Verb + ikke + [rest of sentence]

Erros comuns

In Norwegian, the verb must come before the negation. Don't put 'ikke' before the action.

Wrong: Jeg ikke spiser.
Correto: Jeg spiser ikke.

If there is an object, 'ikke' should sit between the verb and the object.

Wrong: Jeg spiser pizza ikke.
Correto: Jeg spiser ikke pizza.

Norwegian sentences usually start with the subject, not the negation.

Wrong: Ikke jeg spiser.
Correto: Jeg spiser ikke.
