"You are drinking water."

Translation: Du dricker vatten.

[CAESAR.AUGUSTUS.]

What is the difference between "Du" and "Ni"?

[Zmrzlina]

Du is singular (like the Shakespearian thou), while Ni is plural (youse, y'all, you guys).

Compare it to tu/vous in French, du/ihr in German or jij/jullie in Dutch. However, Swedish regularly doesn't express formality or politeness with Ni.

[zirrex]

Du/ihr in German. Since Sie is a polite form for either.

[Zmrzlina]

That's right. Edited my post. Thank you!

Why isn't it "du är dricker vatten"?

[Savannah_831_]

Why is "är" not added?

[REMUSLUPIN120]

Did they change the TTS voice?

[Berniebud]

Yes, the older one mispronounced quite a few words, this one is more accurate.

[REMUSLUPIN120]

Aww. Swedish isn't a magical bouncy
language anymore D:

[Vicky.LerntDe]

I was confused by the pronunciation of 'vatten.' The recording sounds like 'natten.' Is that what I should be hearing?

[HIRALMODI4]

Why isn't it- Ni ar dricker vatten ?
