"Pili jsme jen čistou vodu."

Translation: We drank only pure water.

[Weltreisender]

Since 'vypít' is not used here, wouldn't this be better (or equally well) translated as 'we were only drinking pure water'?

[ion1122]

Compare:
1. We were drinking only pure water.
2. We were only drinking pure water.

Yes, both should be allowed, because many people say 2 when they mean 1. But the real meaning of 2 is that we were only drinking the water, as opposed to eating it, squirting it, splashing it, etc.

[kacenka9]

yes. We had "were drinking" but not in this particular order of words. Edited
