Lucas: Right. So if you want to say 'I drink water', you say 'jeg drikker vann'. Luna: Jeg drikker vann. Easy. Vann is water. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's ask a question. 'Drikker du?' means 'Are you drinking?' or 'Do you drink?'. Luna: Drikker du? Lucas: Perfect. You can also ask 'Hva drikker du?' — 'What are you drinking?'. Luna: Hva drikker du? That's a useful one. Lucas: It is. Let's practice a mini-conversation. I'll start. Hei Luna, hva drikker du? Luna: Jeg drikker vann. Og du? Hva drikker du? Lucas: Jeg drikker kaffe. I drink coffee. Luna: Å, kaffe!
