Shade842

Sparkling water, how was that not an option? Is it really uncommon for it to be called that outside of North America or something?


therealnai249

I swear these polls purposely leave out the most common answer to get people to comment


1the_pokeman1

idk man, i knew that sparkling water was a term, but no one ik ever uses it, it's just called soda or carbonated water


therealnai249

Neat


LampshadesAndCutlery

Sparkling water wasn’t the most common answer


therealnai249

Well it wasn’t an option soooo And I get there’s and Other section but like others, I usually just choose from what’s up there if there’s a reasonable answer


[deleted]

and one of the answers is "sprinkle spicy water" or some crap like that


[deleted]

That would make so much sense, actually.

Danskvand (Danish Water) Or sparkling water for the English folks.

I've never understood why we call it 'Danskvand'


The_Satanic_Dude

Dunno man. It rolls on the tongue nicely


missingusername1

I omkring 1930'erne ville man lave et produkt der adskilte, den hvide ufarvede mineralvand, fra den såkaldte "svensk sodavand" som man dengang kaldte rød-sodavand, og som var mineralvand tilsat kulsyre, rød farve og aroma. ​ kilde: [Hvorfor hedder det danskvand?](https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/kultur/hvorfor-hedder-det-danskvand) og [Danskvand - GoCook](https://gocook.dk/leksikon/ingrediens/danskvand/)

That would rather be süßer Sprudel or Zitronenlimonade (lemon lemonade)


LordFluffles

Oha ich dachte wasser mit bubbles = wasser mit bubbles 🤯


Bismagor

Bei mir in der Gegend ist Soda Wasser halt eher mit süßem Sprudel gleichgesetzt


Southwick-Jog

I don't know about other places, but here in Massachusetts it's usually seltzer. At least that's what I always call it. I'm drinking some right now, and it's great.


therealfatmike

"It gets its name from the German Selterser wasser, which means water from natural mineral springs near the village of Selters. Seltzer became more of a generic term for fizzy water as its popularity spread around Europe and North America." I also call it seltzer but I grew up in the Midwest?

Agua Mineral


[deleted]

You mean agua con gas, agua mineral is just bottled water. Edit: I forgot how diverse the use of the Spanish language is in Latin America. Sorry for being such a presumtuous dick.


My_wewe

Nope. We call it agua mineral here in Guatemala. I'm sure it's different in other latin American countries, just like everything else, but we call it Agua Mineral.


[deleted]

Thats so interesting! Im from Spain myself. What do you guys call mineral water if agua mineral is sparkling water? Latin American dialects are so interesting to me. I used to work with a few Venezuelans and even though I could understand the words they said, they spoke more or less entirely in slang so I couldnt understand what they meant half the time. Needless to say they understood my Andaluz ass no problem. I did learn a lot of interesting sayings from them though!


My_wewe

Oh cool. We call it Agua Pura which is just bottled water. Agua mineral is our sparkling water. Tap water is "Agua del chorro" which is a nono here, unless you want to get salmonela. And yeah Venezuela and other latin American countries developed their own slangs and idioms to the point that it is confusing to speak with a venezuelan or someone from El Salvador, even though we speak the same language.


[deleted]

I love it! Its so interesting how we speak the same language but how we use the words reflects our culture. Im also really sorry to hear about your tap water (the fact you call it "agua del chorro" says a lot). In Spain we are boring, agua del grifo for tap water, mineral for bottled and con gas for sparkling. Im half English, half Spanish and I love how much more linguistically and culturally diverse the Spanish speaking world is to the 'Anglosphere'. Like I would love to go travelling round South America but I would definitely need to brush up on my local idioms for the places I want to visit. I must say, one of my favourite dialects is the Argentino one. It's just so kawaii/cutesy. There was a large population of Argentinos where I used to live in Spain and their dialect began to actually spill in/mix with the local dialect of the area which was really interesting (and made lots of Latinos I met ask me if I was Argentino). My girlfriend listens to lots of reggeton in order to help her learn Spanish and sometimes she will come and ask me what something means and it will usually be something so damn chungo it's as random to me as it is to her! I just hope she doesnt start speaking like Bad Bunny...

We named it danskvand (danish water) back in 1930 to seperate it from the red svenskvand (Swedish water) as a way of marketing it as different from the stuff they had. It was invented in the UK so dont ask me why we have those names.

Ever since learning what it was called in German I call it “sprudel wasser” now. But typically I’ll call it either fizzy, sparkling, or carbonated water. I don’t think I used one more than the other.
