Questions & Answers about Jeg drikker et glas vin til maden.
Why is it jeg and not mig?
Because jeg is the subject form, meaning I. It is the person doing the action.
- Jeg drikker ... = I drink / I am drinking ...
- Mig means me and is used as an object, not as the subject of a normal statement.
Why does the verb end in -er: drikker?
Drikker is the present tense of drikke (to drink).
A very useful thing about Danish is that the verb usually has the same form for all persons in the present tense:
- jeg drikker
- du drikker
- han/hun drikker
- vi drikker
So the -er here is not specifically because of jeg; it is just the normal present-tense form.
Does jeg drikker mean I drink or I am drinking?
