Questions & Answers about Hun er køberen, men hun har slet ikke set tilstandsrapporten.
How does slet ikke affect the word order here compared to a standard ikke?
It acts exactly the same! Just like the simple negation ikke, the phrase slet ikke functions as a central adverb. In this main clause, it is placed as a single block right after the finite verb (har) and before the past participle (set).
Could we use langtfra instead of slet ikke in this sentence?
You could, but it changes the nuance. slet ikke means 'not at all' (she hasn't looked at the document whatsoever). langtfra means 'far from' and is better used when there is a strong expectation to contradict. For simply stating she hasn't seen the report, slet ikke is much more natural.
Danish often drops the article for roles and professions. Why does it use the definite køberen here?
While Danish does drop the article for general professions (like hun er læge for 'she is a doctor'), here we are talking about a specific real estate transaction. She is the specific buyer of this property, so the definite form køberen is required.
What is the 's' doing in the middle of tilstandsrapporten?
That is a linking 's' used to glue two nouns together into a compound noun: tilstand (condition) + s + rapport (report). Danish frequently inserts an 's' or an 'e' between compound words to make them flow more naturally when spoken.
