Wasser meaning and definition in german
Noun
Frequency:
Both plural forms are infrequent. Unchanged Wasser is used as a purely emphatic plural: die Wasser des Rheins – "the waters of the Rhine". Wässer is used as an actual plural meaning different kinds of water (or brandy): teure und preiswerte Wässer – "expensive and inexpensive [table] waters". However, Wässer is also used emphatically in some compound words such as Abwässer (“waste water”) and Schmutzwässer (“dirty water”).
