If you want to say “I need water” in Spanish, you would say “Necesito agua.”
Here’s a breakdown of the phrase:
- Necesito: This translates to “I need.” It comes from the verb “necesitar,” which means “to need.”
- Agua: This means “water.” It is a feminine noun in Spanish, so you would use the article “la” if you were saying “the water” (la agua), but when just stating the word by itself, you use “agua” alone.
So next time you’re thirsty and find yourself in a Spanish-speaking country, just remember: “Necesito agua!”
