why is blue plural?

[radagastthebrown]

Water in Hebrew - מים - is always plural.

I was wondering if a solution with את would work here too? אני ראוה את המים?

[radagastthebrown]

No: "I see water" = "אני רואה מים", "I see the water" = "אני רואה את המים".

So in this sentence there's no 'the', and therefore there shouldn't be "את ה".

Thanks!
