"Ik drink sap."

Translation: I drink juice.

[M4lkin]

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?

[MarleneMoar]

Yes I hear that too M4lkin! Driving me crazy.

[AndreitaKnows]

Yes!

[RaynStrydr93]

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

[GyrnolSpwng]

I'm wondering the same. Hope an answer comes along.

[MentalPinball]

Hi RaynStrydr93,

It's pronounced with an s.

[karl.os]

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? :)

[RemkoAlexander]

I drink - Ik drink
You drink - Jij drinkt
He drinks - Hij drinkt

The entire conjugation table for those who are interested: http://www.mijnwoordenboek.nl/werkwoord/drinken

[Gwildor]

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

vaya que el holandés es bien cool. una mezcla de inglés y alemán

The slow audio sounds like "Ik drink E sap"... Can someone explain that to me?

[M4lkin]

That seems to be an error in slow mode (I noted that too, some month ago, see above). I listened to "Goedendag, sap" just now and that sounded like "Goedendag, e sap" in normal mode ... might be that it's an audio problem? I have that from time to time - audios that started delayed or - more often - stopped a little early.

[alcyone_maia]

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

[WarmFoothills]

Sap is an English word as well.

[alcyone_maia]

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

[WarmFoothills]

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

[juryrigging]

Tree sap can be perfectly healthy.

[Nipatiitti89]

That's true!

[ector.]

Whose actually drinking juice right now?

[StopTheCheating]

I type it correctly in Dutch and keep getting a message that I answered in English. It is happening quite often.

[MentalPinball]

Hi StopTheCheating,

Would you use the report button instead?

That way your message will go straight to the developers.

Thanks!
