I wonder why "A girl" and "the girl" are considered to be different

[Melkutus]

In regards to syntax, "the girl is drinking /the/ water" should also be correct. The form of the word 'water' presented here has the accompanying definite article.

[Arnauti]

No, vatten here is indefinite. It's an ett word. The girl is drinking/drinks the water would be Flickan dricker vattnet.
Singular:
ett vatten, vattnet
Plural:
vatten, vattnen

Vatten isnt that "the water"

[Flow_Daddy]

Why isn't it The girl drinks wine?

[Ob3s3.B1tch013]

Because not all kids are Alcoholics

[Daniel_2506]

Because vatten means water. 'The girl drinks wine.' would be 'Flickan dricker vin.'
