Is this one of those languages where "he drinks" and "he is drinking" are the same?

[Jellei]

Yes. Well, we do have some habitual verbs, which would correspond better to "He drinks", for example, (pijać - On pija mleko), but generally, the 'normal' verb is perfectly fine. The habitual verbs are therefore outside the scope of this course, they aren't that common.

[BahmanReza]

From Proto-Slavic melko, borrowed from Proto-Germanic meluks, from Proto-Indo-European*h₂melǵ-.
