"En man och en flicka dricker mjölk."

Translation: A man and a girl are drinking milk.

"A man and a girl are drinking milk" this also works... but i dont understand the grammar

[nizzle1931]

In Swedish, the grammar does not distinguish between present tense action (at the exact moment) and the gerund form of an action (an -ing verb). For example: "Hon dricker" can mean "she drinks" and "she is drinking", depending on the context of a situation for how it used. Because Duolingo does not give a specific situation (usually) in that you would be able to discern which situation it is, Duolingo will allow either translation.

[troseo]

Wouldn't "a man and a girl are drinking milk" also be correct?

[devalanteriel]

Yes, that is also accepted.

I don't understand when I write "man" or "män" in swedish?

[devalanteriel]

• man = man
• män = men

I have gone back to practice this, and I am still confused if I pronounce the "ch" like a "ck" sound in clock, in the word "och", I think i remember seeing a comment saying when it is on its own then yes, if in a sentance its more of just an "o"? I can say the sentance easier pronouncing the "ch", but when I just leave it as an "o" sound, my tongue gets twisted saying the sentance :p

I do not understand why there is no s. Why is it drink not drinks

[devalanteriel]

There are two people, so you don't use the singular -s form.

[LorenziaTh]

What is the difference of A and Are in this context?

[Brad12092]

Sorry but I am practicing Swedish, not a flawless Swedish accent. This won't accept my verbal reading.

[Kvaakkeliini]

Jos puhut suomea, voit lausua nää kaikki vaan suomeks nii se hyväksyy yleensä.

[Snugubus]

Is there an easy way to rember spelling for Swedish words as I keep losing all my hearts on that and falling the units
