[sarah.tyt]

what?!

[Yerrick]

Think puppies.

[TomdeKler]

thanks, I feel better now. I should think of puppies more often.

[h4ck8ug5]

Would it be correct also if I had to say " the dogs are drinking milk" ?

[Arnauti]

Yes, we don't distinguish between present and present continuous.

[Kylaro]

First the dogs eat the cats,
Then they drink the cats' milk?
:( poor cats

[Julliexlii]

Is there a reason why the definite ending [-an] has been reversed to [-na]? Or am I just crazy? Thanks in advance for the reasoning behind this!

[mette547406]

It's in plural!

en hund, hunden
hundar, hundarna

[lesliewilman]

True, but if it is cow's milk it is not good for them. Puppies are usually reared on goat's milk, if their ❤❤❤❤❤ cannot keep up with their appetites. Trust me, I am a goat keeper.

[DanielElli3]

Can you say -Dogs drink milk

[Arnauti]

That would be Hundar dricker mjölk in Swedish.

[deactivated user]

Why is it hundarna?

[Kaninnn]

En hund = A dog, Hunden = The dog, Hundarna = THE dogs

[mette547406]

• hundar = dogs

If it were puppies drinking the milk, then what would "puppies" be in Swedish?

[Zmrzlina]

Hundvalpar or just valpar.

[krista.shilling]

Thanks ^-^

[mette547406]

And in this sentence specificly it would be "valparna" (the puppies)

[Robbadob]

Tack!

How do you know whether to use the ending -erna or -arna for the plural definite?

[OwainLlyfr]

When making the definite of the plural you (usially) only add the ending without changing the plural word.

[Jack_Boulet]

Must be to wash down all the cat they just finished eating...

[Indie12345678]

I think cats drink milk but ok (_)
