    Water is only for advanced users. Komencantoj, drink beer instead.

              Because in English you can't say it like that, so Duolingo got confused and marked you wrong.

                Why does "is the beginner having water" not work for this sentence? Don't they mean the same thing? It's still a yes or no question.

                  Why is "Is the beginner having water?" incorrect?

                    They don't mean the same thing in English. Does the beginner have water is literally asking if he has water to use or to give out. Is the beginner having water implies that they're drinking water only.

                      I am native portuguese speaker and this sentence makes no sense to me...

                      The sentence has no context, so while it is a proper sentence, it makes little sense. Maybe this could be used for an athlete, or for a person working outside, where it would be important to stay hydrated. And someone who is just starting out might not remember to bring their own water.

                        Has Water possibly?
