"Mannen drikker vinen."

Translation: The man is drinking the wine.

It's difficult to hear the difference between "vin" and "vinen"! Any tips for discerning this subtle difference?

[fveldig]

vinen is pronounced with a slightly longer n, like vin'n. The difference might be subtle, but this is clear to native, so I guess you'll just have to try and learn this yourself.

Usually I can hear the elongated "n", but this one is very tough. I think the audio is just not so good here...

[TroyDoby]

She is clearly saying'vin' and not 'vinen'.

[Rebequitacalzado]

How come is the wine and not just wine. ?

[lijo414247]

'Vin' is "(a) wine" and 'Vinen' is specifically for "the wine"

[Toreamus]

Mann drikker vin I think is the latter. I'll have to check back with you

[Toreamus]

I'm gonna be drinking the wine in a second of I keep struggling lol. I think I need to practice subtle auditory cues

[frankk1m]

Note: Norwegian uses common gender for "vin" while Swedish uses neuter ("vinet").
