Vouloir de l'eau is a French equivalent of 'Need water'. The infinitive 'vouloir' means 'to wish, to want'. The partitive combines the preposition 'de' and the feminine definite article 'la'* to mean 'some'. The feminine noun 'eau' means 'water'. All together, they're pronounced 'voo-lwahr duh loh'.

*The vowel 'a' of 'la' drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of the drop is indicated by the apostrophe: 'l'eau'.
