Greek has only "eat" for eating food or soup, and "drink" for drinking liquids (water, alcohol, etc).

Even if someone places solid food in a blender and liquifies it, then again in Greece we will use the word "eat". qunnoq On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 12:55 PM, Elizabeth Faber <elizabeth.lawrence08@gmail.com> wrote:

I was wondering which (natural, Earth) languages, if any, make the distinction that Klingon does, between {Sop}, {'ep}, and {tlhutlh}?
Not a direct answer, but a side note: In German, you can both "eat" and "drink" a soup. It depends on how you do it: using a spoon it's eat, but if you drink it, you move the cup to your mouth.
