"I am drinking tea."

Translation: Ich trinke Tee.

[salehalgan]

What is the different ? Ich trinke tee and Ich trinkt tea

[AyaA2]

The last letter tell us about personal pronoun. It means if you said " trinke tee" without "ich" I will under stand you are talking about your self because of "e" which tell us about personal pronoun ، and so on.

More explain :
In English: she, he, it take "s" in verb ، I, they, you, we without "s"..

In Deutsch most verb in present take: --- Ich - e .
* er, es, sie ( she ),ihr - t .
* du - st .
wir, Sie ( they ) - en.

I hope I could explain it ☺..
May Allah bless you ☺..

The verb "trinken" conjugated for the noun ich is trinke.

[SelinIMVU]

It's like telling ''I drinks tea.'' in English.Sounds awful,right?Think like you are Deutsch.

[RLShahan]

why is it not "Ich bin trinke Tee"

[aylueen]

Because in German there's no present continuous. "I am drinking tea" is the same as "I drink tea". And you only translate "I drink tea" without the 'am'.

[nikola_bg]

Why it is not possible: "Ich trink Tee"?

[crimsonfinch]

Verbs following the pronoun 'ich' usually end with the letter e.

[firepaw]

that would be i drinking tea

[cobo0605]

I put "Ich trinke der Tee" and it was wrong why?

[r0mancec0]

I take tea
