Questions & Answers about Han drikker kaffe.
What does Han mean in English?
Han translates to he in English. It’s a masculine pronoun used when referring to a male subject.
How do I pronounce Han drikker kaffe?
• Han sounds like “HAHN” with a short a (similar to the vowel in father).
• drikker is pronounced roughly “DRIH-ker,” with a rolled or tapped r at the end.
• kaffe is pronounced “KAH-feh,” again with the short a.
Why is there no article before kaffe?
In Norwegian, when speaking generally about something like coffee, you don’t need an article (e.g., kaffe is just “coffee,” similar to using “water” uncountably in English). If you want to talk about the coffee specifically, you would say kaffen.
Does drikker change with different subjects in the present tense?
No. In Norwegian, the present tense verb form is the same regardless of the subject. So whether it’s Jeg drikker kaffe (“I drink coffee”) or Han drikker kaffe (“He drinks coffee”), the verb remains drikker.
How can I use this sentence in a question form?
Just put the verb first: Drikker han kaffe? means “Does he drink coffee?” in Norwegian.
What’s the difference between Han and Hun?
• Han is the masculine pronoun: “he.”
• Hun is the feminine pronoun: “she.”
Make sure to use Han when referring to a male subject and Hun for a female subject.
