mineral-/källvatten utan kolsyra


Explanation:

Jonathan har rätt, men jag kom att tänka på att "still water" på flaska ändå torde vara "käll-" eller "mineralvatten", dock utan kolsyra/ej kolsyrat. Icke kolsyrat vatten är bara vatten, men "a bottle of still water" kanske är käll- eller mineralvatten, trots att det inte är kolsyrat? Men jag är inte säker. Så det är bara ett förslag utifrån min tanke!
