"Kvinnan dricker öl."

Translation: The woman drinks beer.

[L3xisPlex]

He he. She drinks oil.

[ex0mo]

As a German I can relate. I'm always tempted to write oil.

[JoanaPheny]

Same here haha

[krtzrovavrt]

Both makes you fat ;)

[MaryamKhaq]

I think of it as "ale" in English and that helps me remember

[MarionGeorge]

Is there a phonetic difference between dricker and drycker?

[uhg]

Yes. Y is somewhere between i and ü.

[lovefem]

dricker and drycker what are the differences, please

[Arnauti]

dricker is the verb 'drinks'
drycker is the plural of the noun dryck 'beverage'

[dfpeterson]

could you use "öl" to mean "ale" as well or is there another word that means "ale?"

[Lundgren8]

We usually use the English word to mean ale.

[ClaireConr9]

I thought it was oil for a second...

[pang1968]

Damn. They've been watching me.

[ThomasDidymus]

Is that öl beer? Tell me if I'm wrong!

[Mezzo_Mezzo]

I tried "The woman is drinking a bear" and Duo told me I'm wrong, is he right?

[Mezzo_Mezzo]

A beer* of course ...

[Jessica878153]

yep, because it is "öl" without the article "en"
so correct way is:
The woman is drinking beer.
Kvinnan dricker öl.

[ifsot]

In previous sentence, using the word "öl" the translation was "ale". Now that I gave "ale" as translation, I was said it's wrong. That's not consistent. What is it finally?

[KimWidman]

Talking about beer in general: Öl.

Talking about specific types of beer: Ale, Stout, Lager, Weissbier, Pilsner...

[arkandeandon]
