The word of the day is:
Eau! (water)
Water is an uncountable noun in both English and French. You can
have some, but how much of it you have is determined by container size or
landmass, and not by a number in front. You can still talk about waters in
plural, as found in nature, in order to qualify it. Let's look at the
following examples:
de l’eau
|
some water
|
un verre d’eau
|
a glass of water
|
de l’eau froide
|
cold water
|
des eaux turbulentes
|
turbulent waters
|
il y a trop d’eau dans la
marmite
|
there is too much water
in the pot
|
il ne reste plus d’eau chaude!
|
there is no more hot water!
|
Let’s look
