I don't understand what's going on with water. Why doesn't it follow the rules like say elephant, ending wise?

It's an ett word: ett vatten, vattnet and in the plural vatten, vattnen.
Though of course we normally don't say a water but use it as a mass noun instead.

Well, like this:
- elefant = just like English but f instead of ph
- -er = plural suffix
- -na = definite suffix
