heller

"Neither" or "either" (used in negative contexts).

In a sentence

  • Jag tycker inte om kaffe, och jag dricker inte te heller.

    I don't like coffee, and I don't drink tea either.

    Here, 'heller' is used to indicate an agreement in negativity, expressing 'neither' or 'either' in a not-so context.

  • Han ville inte gå till stranden, och famlijen följde inte med heller.

    He didn't want to go to the beach, and the family didn't come either.

    In this sentence, 'heller' continues the negative statement regarding the action of not going.

  • Om du inte kan inte komma, vill jag inte gå dit heller.

    If you can't come, I don't want to go there either.

    Here, 'heller' similarly reinforces the negativity expressed in the preceding clause.
