معنی
Requesting a drink.
زمینه فرهنگی
Tap water is free and of high quality. Asking for it is the norm, and bottled water is often seen as a waste of money. During 'toppturer' (mountain hikes), it is common to say 'Jeg vil ha vann' when coming across a clean stream. Water is usually served first, often without asking, but using the phrase confirms you don't want expensive alternatives. Among young people, 'vann' is often the only thing ordered at clubs to stay hydrated between dances.
The 'Ha' Rule
Always use 'ha' when you want an object. 'Jeg vil kaffe' is wrong; 'Jeg vil ha kaffe' is right.
Free Water
Don't be afraid to ask for water in restaurants. It's free and expected!
