Introduction to Swedish:
Lesson 4

Swedish for not is inte.

In Old English, they used to say they have not instead of they don’t have. That still is the case in Swedish so to say I don’t have it you are actually saying I have it not (notice the slight change in word order, as it comes before the not - but it just feels more natural like that). How would you say that:

I don’t have it.

Answer: Jag har det inte.
