"Jag tycker inte om den här typen av dryck."

Translation: I do not like this type of beverage.

[RichardBro2]

We do not say 'beverage' at all in British English, 'drink' is the noun we would use here.

[Cinnamon_Sticks]

this isn't true at all. Beverage is used all the time in England

[fiderallala]

Yes and no. Beverage is almost exclusively found in written English. It's rarely used in the spoken language except by people being deliberately ostentatious.

[HelenCarlsson]

If you typed "drink" and it was not accepted you can report it.

Edit: "I don't like this type of drink" is accepted as well

[RichardBro2]

It was not accepted when I wrote this comment. I thought it would be more useful to actually explain my reasoning behind why I didn't think beverage was the only appropriate answer, but thanks for your help.

[HelenCarlsson]

Absolutely :)! It could also be that there is one combo missing. For example, I wrote "I don't like this type of drink" and maybe you wrote "I do not like this type of drink".

Anyway, if the team reads this I am sure they will check it up.

[Kreilyn]

Could i say: Jag tycker inte om den här sorten av dryck?

[HelenCarlsson]

Then it would be "Jag tycker inte om den här sortens dryck", where "sortens" is genitive.

[FaizalZahid]

Sorry for my ignorance but if 'sortens' is genitive, why 'typen' does not become 'typens'?

[Kreilyn]

Thanks! HelenCarlson

[Nasser677522]

!!! What is genitive's rules?

[devalanteriel]

We don't use the "of" construction for genitive. Instead, we put an s after the word. If it already ends in an s, there is no change.

[Tinyset]

Can I say "I don't like this kind of drink"?

[ReinerSelb]

yes, you can.

[Hancy1931]

What's the difference between "dryck" and "dricka"?

[HelenCarlsson]

Dryck is a noun and dricka is a verb.

[Hancy1931]

Right, but I also found this entry at http://lexin2.nada.kth.se/lexin/ :

dricka [²drịk:a] LYSSNA subst.
〈drickan, drickor, drickorna〉

dryck

Sammansättningar:

<pre>socker|dricka svag|dricka </pre>

Exempel:

<pre>en back dricka </pre>

[HelenCarlsson]

Sure, "dricka" exists as a noun as well. It's mostly used in compound words like the ones you mentioned and not many people drink "sockerdricka" or "svagdricka" these days.

[Hancy1931]

Jaha! Thanks :)

[Olweg]

is it correct to say "jeg tycker om inte den här typen av dryck" ?

[HelenCarlsson]

No, a sentence adverbial (here "inte") splits the particle verb in a main clause.

jag tycker om = I like
jag tycker *inte * om = I don't like

[Olweg]

oh ok, that's weird, I was almost sure I had already seen "jag tycker om inte" before @_@ thank you :)

[HelenCarlsson]

I doubt that :). In a sub-clause, "inte" comes before the verb:

Han undrade varför jag inte tycker om den här typen av dryck.

[Norravargen]

My "I don't like this type of drinks" was not accepted. Why?

[devalanteriel]

English generally uses "this type of [singular]" or "these types of [plural]". There are some special cases where they might be mixed, but not as a general rule.

[Norravargen]

Can't i type "drinks" here? Logically it "type" can only be "of drinks" not of one single drink...

[devalanteriel]

Please refer to my previous answer to you.
