"Björnen dricker vatten."

Translation: The bear is drinking water.

[Roselet]

The translation of the sentence "Björnen dricker vatten" as "The bear drinks the water" is wrong! Why?

[eacla]

If you're translating from swedish to english, it should be "The bear drinks water".

Vatten = water
Vattnet = the water

Björnen dricker vatten = The bear drinks water
Björnen dricker vattnet = The bear drinks the water

Correct, of course. Just a hint: if you add two spaces after a line, it'll put a line break for you. Otherwise it'll just continue on the previous line, as you noticed. :)

[Mr_Eyl]

That would be Björnen dricker vattnet.

Vatten is neuter, so it takes ett.

I too have a same doubt on this !!

Then I would suggest also reading the replies with answers to said question. :)

[ConorNotConnor]

I put "the bear drinks water" why is that wrong

[devalanteriel]

That should absolutely have been accepted.
