How do you say may i get a drink of water in Japanese?

Answer 1

In Japanese

水をのんでもいいですか。 (hiragana)

mizu wo nondemoii desu ka? (romaji)

[me-zoo/oh/no-N-deh-moe-EE/deh-zz/ka?](pronunciation)

Translates:

May I [get] some water?

Break it down:

mizu = water, wo = grammatical marker, nondemoii = is it okay to drink, desu ka = grammatical markers

Answer 2

のどが渇く /no do ga ka WA ku/ is a phrase meaning 'one's throat is dry', in different conjugations it is used to say '....am/is/are/was/etc + thirsty'. E.g. 'I am thirsty' would be 'nodo ga kawaite imasu'. 渇く /ka WA ku/ itself is also used alone, meaning 'to be thirsty'. E.g. 'she was thirsty' would be 'kanojo WA kawaite imashita'.

Answer 3

"Anata WA mizu ga hoshii desuka"

It means do you want water but I'd much rater use

"Nodo ga kawaite imasuka."

It means Is your throat dry

but Japanese use this for are you thirsty and Do you want "liquid"

for the water part just use context.

Answer 4

噴水 Funsui

- Adamlance

That means "decorative fountain" in Japanese, not the fountain you can drink out of.

Japan does not have water fountains. Instead, they have coffee shops. コーヒーショップ (kōhīshoppu) means coffee shop in Japanese. They don't sell just coffee, but regular soft drinks and water as well.

Answer 5

You may say "[o]mizu kudasai," or "[o]mizu onegaishimasu" among other ways.

Answer 6

Casually: 飲みたいか？ (Nomi tai ka?)

Politely: 飲みたいですか？ (Nomi tai desu ka?)
