How to use 纯净水
纯净水 is the everyday word for bottled or filtered drinking water, often seen on labels and in shops. You will also hear it shortened to 纯水 in some contexts. Example: 我买了一瓶纯净水。(Wǒ mǎi le yì píng chúnjìngshuǐ.) I bought a bottle of purified water.
Break it into three parts: 纯 (chún) pure, 净 (jìng) clean, and 水 (shuǐ) water. Water that is both pure and clean is purified water, the kind you buy in bottles.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 净 (jìng) with 静 (jìng, quiet) because they sound the same. In 纯净水 it is 净 with the water-like 冫 on the left, the same 净 as in 干净 (gānjìng).
