    Why this sentence is "The woman is drinking" and is not "The woman drinks"? I don't understand it

              I'm pretty sure kvinne is 'woman' and kvinnen is 'the woman'

                Why is "the girl" jenta and "the woman" kvinnen rather than kvinna?

                  "The woman" can be either 'kvinnen' or 'kvinna', but it just depends on geography and dialect I believe.

                    Im finding "Kvinnen" kinda hard to say. The audio makes it sound like the "K" and "V" are said simultaneously and I cant do it. In reality is their a slight gap between the "K" and "V" or is it said super fast as if one sound?

                      Why drikker and not drikke?
