"Vi sitter og leser sammen."

Translation: We are reading together.

This looks a lot like Dutch, where you can say: 'We zitten samen te lezen'.

Since leser already means "are reading" and sitter means "are sitting". Why is "sitter" here? I was expecting this to say "We are sitting and reading together"...

It's explained in the tips and notes, but basically, it's a way of emphasising that the main verb (in this case reading) is happening right now, in this moment.

How would "vi leser sammen" translate?

[Luke_5.1991]

"We are reading together" or "we read together." "Vi sitter og leser sammen" can only mean the former.

[sundoll]

So what do "sitter" mean in this context?

[Luke_5.1991]

Take a look at the tips and notes. It specifies the continuous present.

Woops, I always forget about the notes and tips. That's the trouble with the app version ^^;
