"Jeg leser en historisk bok."

Translation: I'm reading a historic book.

[Ghayth90]

It's it the same as in reading a book about history?

[Deliciae]

No, that would be "en historiebok", or "en bok om historie".

[lee_livingston]

Lol. I agree with historic book = book of historical significance, historical book = book regarding the past.

But can we get an 'AN' in front of both please?

[benjidial]

Duolingo tends to use American English, in which words starting with non-silent "h"es do get "a" in front of them.

[Dogmatix.]

so you only put the special o in when 'bok' is plural? can someone please explain this? (sorry for my lack of linguistic language, I don't know what the special O is called)

[KieranMcDermott]

Basically yes. Bok - Book, Boken - The Book, Bøker - Books, Bøkene - The Books.

Would this be correct?
Jeg drikker en historisk drikke

[fveldig]

It would be more common to use 'drikk' in that case.
