Simple question.  My Prussian officer is having a drinking game in a rough bar in Danzig (don’t ask me, do I LOOK like I’m in control??) with a Swedish sailor.

There are many other Swedish sailors in the bar and they chant “drink drink drink” when each man takes his turn.  What is the correct grammatical word they would use?  I’m guessing it’s not skal…

Helps!

No, dear. I have no Swedish speakers. My entire audio system is comprised of various and sundry other nationalities.

(the translation site I used says: Dryck! Dryck! Dryck! which reverse translates back to Beverage! Beverage! Beverage! I'm guessing that's probably not it)

Beverage really doesn't work when you put a room full of sailors shouting it does it? LOL - thank you, I thought it must by dryck/drick - but wanted to be sure it was the imperative.

No-one has to imperative me when it comes to that!
