Ok so, trying to figure out how to order water correctly. That means first understanding the word water in russian.
1. Does the singular form of water - вода - imply a drop of water, or a quantity of water? Would you ask for water in the singular form or plural form? Like I'm assuming a bottle of water implies that it would be plural, thus you want воды, not вода.
2. If you wanted to say, I love water, as in, the drink itself, not a certain amount of it, would you say я люблю воду or воды. Also, where is the accent on воду?
3. If you asked for water, at a restaurant for example, and said можно мне пожалуйста, ...
How would you form this? Could you simply say water, or would you need to specify a bottle or glass to sound more fluent/natural? Also, what case is the word water in?
Thanks!
