Learn Swedish: Gömman finns ingenstans här.

Ingenstans is used for static location ("nowhere"), answering the question "where at?". We use it here because the verb finns describes a state of being located somewhere, not movement. If the sentence involved motion towards a place (like "going nowhere"), you would use ingenvart.

Why use finns instead of är for "is"?

While you could technically say gömman är, finns (from att finnas, meaning "to exist" or "to be found") is much more natural and common in Swedish when talking about the physical location, existence, or availability of an object.

What is the root of the word gömman?

It comes from the verb att gömma, which means "to hide". The noun en gömma refers to a hiding place, a stash, or a cache. Here it is in the definite form, gömman (the cache).

Could I write inte någonstans instead of ingenstans?

Yes, gömman finns inte någonstans här means exactly the same thing. In Swedish, negative adverbs like ingenstans can often be replaced by inte plus the indefinite version (någonstans). Using ingenstans is just a slightly more concise way to phrase it.
