    Is sap pronounced with a "s", "sh", or "zh" at the the beginning?

        I'm having a hard time on 'drink' vs 'drinkt'. I was thinking maybe drinkt was plural but it doesn't seem so. What am I misunderstanding? :)

          I drink - Ik drink

            "drinkt" is the form for "je" and "zij/hij/het/men", so the second and third singular. "drink" is just for the "I" form.

              Okay, drink is "drink", and drink is "drinks".

                Hi! I'm german so this is no big problem for me because it's just the konjugation for the person "He" or "She". :)

                    One of the possible answers it gives me is " I drink sap" that doesn't make sense.

                      Sap is an English word as well.

                        Sap is the liquid that comes out of trees. Not drinkable.

                          You can drink it. It just isn't good for you. The sentence still makes grammatical sense.

                            Tree sap can be perfectly healthy.

                              Is "sap" pronounced like "shap" or chap"?

                                In slow-mode there is an "a" in front of "sap": Ik - drink - e - sap. I often don't hear if there is an "een" or a "de" or nothing in front of the object, but here there is a mismatch :-/ I repeated it several times. Do you have that, too?
