意思
Offering or advising someone to drink water.
文化背景
Offering water is the absolute minimum requirement of hospitality. Even if you have nothing else to offer, you must offer water. Water is considered 'Pavitra' (pure). It is used to wash the feet of guests in very traditional settings before they enter the house. Due to the cold, 'Pani' is often replaced by 'Tato Pani' (hot water) or 'Chiya' (tea). Offering cold water in the high mountains can be seen as inconsiderate. In Newari tradition, water is often offered in a 'Karua' (a traditional metal vessel with a spout).

The 'Tato Pani' trick
If you are in the mountains, always offer 'Tato Pani' (hot water). It's considered much healthier and more thoughtful.
