The simple word nog (‘probably’) is used with slightly different definitions in Finnish-Swedish and Swedish-Swedish, which affects the meaning and function of men nog.\nIn this paper it’s the written language that’s being focused on, since there is more material to analyse. However, there is a minor research about the spoken language aswell.\nThe research shows that men nog is especially used in different ways when it comes to sentences that are elliptic.
