Signification
A basic combination for hydration.
Contexte culturel
Tap water (kohoutková voda) is safe and high quality. It is common to ask for it in restaurants. Drinking mineral water from specific springs is a traditional medical treatment in towns like Karlovy Vary. It is considered slightly 'unlucky' to toast with water, though perfectly acceptable to drink it at a party. The 'pitný režim' (drinking regime) is a very common topic in Czech media, emphasizing 2-3 liters of water daily.
Ordering Water
In Czechia, if you just say 'vodu', they will ask 'perlivou nebo neperlivou?'. Be ready!
The Accusative
Never say 'Piju voda'. It marks you as a total beginner. Always 'vodu'!
