意思
Requesting drink.
文化背景
Water is the first thing served in any cafe or home. It is often free and unlimited in carafes. In many islands, tap water is not drinkable. People always say 'Θέλω εμφιαλωμένο νερό' (I want bottled water). Athens has some of the best tap water in Europe. Saying 'Θέλω νερό βρύσης' is common and safe. Water is used in the 'Agiasmos' (blessing) ceremony. 'Holy water' is called 'Αγιασμός', not just 'νερό'.
Always add 'Parakalo'
Even if you are thirsty, adding 'please' makes a huge difference in how you are perceived.
Tap Water Safety
Always ask 'Πίνεται το νερό;' (Is the water drinkable?) on the islands.
