Adventures in German

Actual conversation between the Special Assistant to the Blogger and I somewhere in Austria, after she took a swig from my water bottle during our bike trip last Saturday:

SAB: "This tastes bitter."

Me: "I got it from that neighborhood we were in. The sign said 'Trinkwasser'."

SAB: " 'Trinkwasser' or 'Kein Trinkwasser'?"

Me: (Hoping kein means fresh) " 'Kein Trinkwasser'."

SAB: "Kein is no. Not drinkable water."

Oh.
