Learn Swedish: Mannen är inte där.

Där means "there", and it is a common answer to var (where). If someone asks Var är mannen? (Where is the man?), you can answer with location words like där (there) or här (here).

Why is it mannen instead of just man?

In Swedish, the word for "the" is attached to the end of the noun. Because the word for "a man" is en man, you add that -en to the end to get mannen (the man).

Does the word inte (not) always come after the verb?

In simple sentences like this one, yes! Swedish has a strict rule where the verb (like är) takes the second position in the sentence. The negation inte usually comes right after it.

What is the opposite of där?

The opposite is här, which means "here". It is another useful location word to know alongside the question word var (where).
