How do you ask for water?


How do you ask for water? The most polite and idiomatic way to ask would be Please may I get some water. May I have is also fine, but it sounds like you're asking them to get the water for you. Get makes it clear you will draw the water from the fountain yourself once you've had the approval to do so.


How do you ask for water in a hotel?

One of the easiest ways to request water is by calling the front desk. Most hotels have a dedicated phone number that connects you directly to the front desk. Simply pick up the phone in your room, dial the number, and politely ask the staff for a glass of water.
