      Silent g or not, that would depend on the dialect of the speaker. Those with a dialect closer to nynorsk would often pronounce the g.

      In Norwegian bokmål, the G is silent, yes.

        Could "The bird drinks water" be another translation? If so, is there any difference? The verb "drikker" would change?

          That would work as well. The verb wouldn't change.

            I thought it said "fuglen drikker vin". Vin means wine. I was like "SAY WHAAAT!?!?!?".
