Four weeks is young for kittens to be fully weaned. Keep trying, but they will be more ready to lap milk and eat soft food at 5-6 weeks. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

as for drinking they know how to lick milk, bet rarely do problem is that they also chew nipples and sucks to buy new ones all the time..

If they are eating soft food only (no dry), they are likely getting plenty of fluids from that. Taking milk from the bottle is more of a comfort thing, though certainly is beneficial with getting extra calories in them.
As for the nipple, yes, the kittens are teething and the nipple feels good to their mouths. Try getting them some teething toys. These are good options:

You might also try these nipples instead. The material is different than the ones that come with the bottles and are harder to chew through.
