c'est l'eau et le feu - English translation - theranchhands.com French-English dictionary
Aerovistae 8, 12 52 To me they are tied. And in case of things like water, bread, etc, we need to to "de" to "make sense". And there are a few discussion too about how a language "forge" a way of thinking. It's kind of quite anchored in our minds There was an advert for some water company where the character said "Je suis en pleine croissance, il me faut de l'eau, de l'eau!
Greg 6, 9 An exception I am just thinking about: Where are you from Greg?
Imprecise at most - the waiter will either ask you what you want or more probably bring you a bottle, but is definitely not impolite. True, I am Belgian, and that may be a cultural difference: I would definitely ask "une eau, s'il vous plait" to order a glass of water and the waiter will indeed ask if I want it "gazeuse" or "plate".

If I asked simply "de l'eau", I would have the feeling to ask for a hose or a bucket of water Maybe because water is not served the same way in Belgium as in France in restaurants the carafe is unknown, that surprises a lot of French visitors. I'm Belgian as well, and although I'd probably say "de l'eau", "une eau" does not seem that weird to me in such a context, so it might indeed be a cultural thing. Nov 30 '17 at In France, people laugh at it sometimes, as they find it more logical and correct to say "un cornet de frites" instead.
In the same way, you use "une eau" for "une bouteille d'eau". It doesn't surprise me more than this, as I lived in both countries for some time. So there is really no context in which you would ever think the word "eau" on its own? What do you mean by "you are not thinking about the abstract concept of H2O" is that to say there is a context in which you might just be thinking "eau"?

Eau alone, to me, would be referring to the concept of water. You might put it on a shopping list for instance: But for instance if you were asked "What else do we need? Aerovistae Don't want to hijack this answer, but in an informal conversation you never hear "eau" only. That's weird, and certainly confusing. Aerovistae If you refer to water in a precise case where quantity isn't global, you could use it, for example, describing a drink: If you speak of the elements for example: I have to say, coming from English, it's odd that "eau" would make sense alone on a shopping list or list of ingredients, but not in your thoughts on its own.
In English, I would make no distinction between those contexts.
