Adverb

Usage notes
Still common in in the dictionaries from the Swedish Academy when designating a word or sense as rare or as rarely appearing in the plural – perhaps for historical reasons. This is potentially confusing for native speakers, who are likely to interpret "knappast" as "certainly not" in contemporary Swedish.

Interjection

 * 1) no way!, I don't think so!
