意思
Expressing thirst.
文化背景
Offering tea is a standard greeting. Even if you say 'chcę pić' meaning water, you might be served hot tea. Younger generations use 'picie' as a general noun for any non-alcoholic beverage. In restaurants, tap water is not always free or offered. You usually have to order bottled water. There is a traditional belief that drinking very cold water when you are hot ('chcę pić zimne') can cause a sore throat (angina).
