Questions & Answers about Jag har inte skrivit under beslutet ännu.
Why does inte come between har and skrivit?
In a Swedish main clause, the word inte (not) usually goes right after the first verb. Because har (have) is the first verb, inte steps in before the second verb skrivit (written).
What does under do in this sentence?
Here, under acts as a verb particle, teaming up with the verb skriva to create a new meaning. While skriva means to write, skriva under means to sign. In Swedish, these two words stay separate but work together as one action.
Why is the object beslutet and not just beslut?
The base word is ett beslut (a decision). Because it is an ett-word, you add the definite ending -et to the end of the noun to make it beslutet (the decision).
Can I use än instead of ännu for yet?
Yes! Both inte ... än and inte ... ännu mean not yet. The word än is very common in everyday spoken Swedish, while ännu sounds just a little more formal or written.
