      Needs (Potrzebuje) needs genitive. Even Poles forget about that though.

          It definitely should be szklankę not szklanki

            While many natives use Accusative with "potrzebować", it does indeed need Genitive. Potrzebować (kogo? czego?) - szklanki.

                "of water" to jednak po prostu dopełniacz "wody", zostańmy przy tym.
