Hi,
 
Hi,
 
 
 
I am wondering what is the right verb in this sentence :
 
I  (  drink     -   eat  ) soup.
 
 
 
 
Thanks in advance.

I think we usually eat the soup...maybe we sip it sometimes(even though not very classy..)
 
But to drink it??...

I �m chuckling here.  I think the only time you drink soup is if it is �Cuppa soup �, that instant soup you drink out of a cup. Hmm... It �s cold here tonight. I wouldn �t mind some soup right now.

Soup always has some kind of food in there whether it is onions, or chunky potatoes etc so it is always "eat soup!!!"
 
I can see the confusion though.  I find koreans regulary make mistakes here.  The other way around though.
