"Is she drinking a glass of water?"

Translation: Ĉu ŝi trinkas glason da akvo?

[kcirehikari88]

Why akvo not akvon? :(

[mark2000italiano]

Hey Erick,
Akvon with the ending -n is accusative. So (mi trinas akvon) seems logical doesn't it?
But the particle (da) lit. means /of/, so how come we add -n to the noun after it... since (akvo) therefore is in the genitive case and NOT accusative case

[kcirehikari88]

why is it not "glason sa akvon?"

[trenton]

Tha was a typo, right kcierhikari88? Da instead of sa.? And no -n after
da, de, dum, at least, that's how I remember them.

[Lily.Metcal]

Why don't you use de instead of da in this context? I thought da was only used for quantity
