It's not easy to retain vocabulary and expressions when studying a language, and it's challenging to get words out on the spot when you're having conversations. I hope these weekly posts could be good practice for your Japanese studies!!

水 [Mizu]
The other way to read this kanji is "sui" (Onyomi), which people may be more familiar with.
水曜日 [Suiyoubi] - Wednesday
香水 [Kousui] - Perfume
水筒 [Suitou] - Thermos bottle
Unrelated but 氷 [Ko-ohri] also looks like "水" but it means ice.
Writer's note: I have been drinking tap water ever since I moved to Japan. I never gave it any research but I assumed it was safe to drink. After a year and a half, I'm doing okay, so I can say with a bit of confidence that tap water is indeed safe to drink in Japan.
