"Fuglen drikker vann."

Translation: The bird is drinking water.

[Caroline-G.]

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

[Jeniusangel]

silent g for fuglen

[Ingebj]

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.

[Vetikke22]

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?

[jelling2]

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

Playing "fuglen drikker vann" at normal speed sets off my Google Assistant for some reason, and I cannot figure out why

[Frosty4427]

How would you say "The bird drinks water" in general, as opposed to in the moment?

[zacwastaken]

The same way. There doesn't seem to be a continuous present tense
