"Bir köpek süt içer."

Translation: A dog drinks milk.

[yomna_saa]

Does that mean the exact meaning of "a dog drinks milk" , which means that any dog drinks milk , or it refers to a certain situation ?

[berkeson]

as in many languages, the turkish "Bir" is both the number one and in sentences like this, "a(n)". this sentence is a generalization, but a more Turkish way to say is "Köpekler süt içer", which means "Dogs drink milk". I for one don't think anyone would say this sentence in this way.

Bir = a/ an/ one

is 'a dog drinks THE milk ' also correct? (the milk in a cup in head of the dog)

[AlexinNotTurkey]

That would be wrong. In this case, you would have to use the accusative case. 'Bir köpek sütü içer.

[Zuzulyaa]

So, it should be, 'sütü'. In many exercises they periodically confuse accusative and nominative. Sometimes they use accusative, sometimes they don't.

[Glavanec]

Does köpek refer to any type of "dog" or to some narrower group (just like the English word dog, which in the past used to refer only to mastiff hounds)?

[yorgoasdf]

Any type.

[Mcav75]

No - Nobody says "One dog drinks milk" - It is the dog drinks milk, or a dog drinks milk.

[Aerologia]

"One dog drinks milk, while another hardly notices it in his bowl." says the man, watching the pair of canines.
