Overview
Norwegian Negation Placement
This guide teaches where to place ikke in main clauses and subordinate clauses.
What to focus on
- In simple main clauses, ikke usually comes after the finite verb.
- After words like fordi, at, and hvis, ikke often comes before the verb.
- Fronted phrases change the opening, but the main-clause pattern still matters.
Examples
Jeg kommer ikke.
I dag kommer jeg ikke.
fordi jeg ikke kommer
