"So you drink a glass of garlic juice every morning…"

Translation: Du trinkst also jeden Morgen ein Glas Knoblauchsaft…

[ParkerMcCr]

Is garlic juice a thing in Germany? I've never seen it in Canada.

[sarefo]

It's a joke :) But sure, you can easily make your own garlic juice at home. Just put 200g of garlic into your juicer, and finish it off with a bit of lemon juice ;)

Apparently, and surprisingly, it seems to be a thing both here and in other parts of Europe, though not particularly common as far as I can tell:

[Bencloete]

Does one not do the following inversion here: Also, trinkst du ein....? Is this not accepted, because "also" isn't really an intrinsic part of the phrase, but rather a sort of phrase on its own that needs to be separated?
But at the same time, it is in some sense an adverb and can be included as in "Du trinkst also jeden...."
I would really appreciate some help, thanks :)

Why is it jeden Morgen rather than jeder? The direct object is the glass of juice, not the morning. Is there an implied preposition that triggers the accusative?

[-Copernicus-]

Time phrases simply always go in the accusative. They're simply understood to not represent the direct object.

"Also trinkst du jeden Morgen ein Glas Knoblauchsaft" not accepted. Why?

[i1nTgQUl]

Based on a previous comment in this lesson, I treated "Also" as a particle here, followed by a comma. The following word order was accepted. "Also, du trinkst..." A native speaker could explain it better than I.

[David-JB]

Sie trinken also jeden Morgen ein Glas Knoblauchsaft... is not accepted? Why not?

[sarefo]

Because I forgot to add it. Fixed, thanks for the message! But better to report via the report function, I just saw it here by accident.

[Hodorious]

Can I use also and so interchangeably?

[-Copernicus-]

No. "Also" means "so" in the sense of "therefore." "So" means "so" too, but it's different kinds of "so." "So" means "like this/that" ("So macht man Knoblauchsaft") or "very" ("Der Knoblauchsaft war so lecker") or something like "this much" ("Der Knoblauchsaft war so lecker, dass ich fünf Gläser getrunken habe").

[Serhat256]

As far as I know, we cannot use “so” in the sense of very in Germany.Der knoblauchsaft war so lecker ( The garlic juice was so delicious) so is used to show the extent , rather than intensify adjective

[-HystErica-]

I tried "Jeden Morgen trinkst du also ein Glas Knoblauchsaft" and was marked wrong. Can someone explain why?

[MichaelEnd15]

What is the difference between "so" and "also"?

[Seiryuu]

-Copernicus- above says that:

• "also" = "therefore"
• "so" = "very", "this much", or "in this way"
