"Er trinkt Saft."

Translation: He drinks juice.

[PatL]

It is difficult to hear the difference between "Er" and "Ihr" in the slow spoken words. They are drawn out too long.

[MostafaBrk]

yah i wrote ihr too -_-

[Hmm88]

As a hard of hearing person, this is especially true for me.

[henro0908]

Absolutely!

I read this elsewhere on Duolingo lessons; "er" sounds like "air" in a British accent, while "ihr" sounds like "ear" in a British accent, instead.
Reading them that way helped a lot toward me understanding the difference.

[prandall1]

That would be very helpful, but in this sentence "er" sounds a lot like "ear" to me.

Thank you!

I too couldn't decide until i saw 'trinkt' which is generally used for third person singular

[sunnysjamil]

If:
Er trinkt

Then what is the conjugation for ihr?

[Shamarth]

Ihr trinkt. So, in this case, the verb won't help you.

[deactivated user]

No ''ein'' or ''der''. Why is that?

[schwenjd]

Er trinkt Saft = He drinks/is drinking juice. Just like in English you do not need to identify the juice.

[richvon23]

Danke Schwenjd

[Tawnyfrogmouth]

It is very difficult to distinguish between Er and Ihr - even in turtle time.
Please avoid these types of questions - having to lose a heart when you do actually know how to conjugate er trinkt and ihr trinkt is frustrating - just because the computer generated voice is misleading.

[shahroz]

Agree with patl

[ginagillen]

I wrote ihr trinkt Saft and that is surely correct for you drink juice. I don't understand why it was wrong and why it had to be he drinks juice!

[BoiuGW]

Does Saft not also mean syrup? He drinks syrup was incorrect

[Akin659148]

When do you know when it's he/she is drinking juice and he/ she drinks juice?

[CINDYHERNA550746]

it is super easy

[AyushiDutt]

How is Saft masculine here?

[Buckeye101_OhioS]

wont let me say it
