معنی
To consume water for hydration.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'carafe d'eau' is a legal right in restaurants. You should never feel embarrassed to ask for it instead of expensive bottled water. Wallace Fountains are iconic public drinking fountains. They are safe, free, and part of the city's history. In Quebec, 'boire de l'eau' is the same, but you might hear 'de l'eau' pronounced with a slightly different vowel sound in informal speech. Water is considered essential to cleanse the palate between different wines or courses of a meal.
The 'De L' Rule
Always use 'de l'' before 'eau' in positive sentences. It's the most common mistake for beginners.
Negation Change
When you say you DON'T drink water, 'de l'' changes to 'd''. Example: 'Je ne bois pas d'eau.'

4 سوالYes, tap water (eau du robinet) is perfectly safe and highly regulated in France.
Because 'eau' starts with a vowel, we must use 'l'' to avoid a glottal stop. Since it's feminine, it would be 'de la', which contracts to 'de l''.
No, French requires an article. You must say 'Je bois de l'eau'.
