How do you say "The water isn't working" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use みずがでません (mizu ga demasen) when talking to a landlord, building staff, or repair person because the water is not coming out.

Chunk or pattern

• Reusable pattern: 〜 が / でません
• Replace 〜 with the thing that is not coming out or not working in that way.
• For home trouble, this works especially well with water-related problems.

Core words

• みず: water.
• でません: does not come out / is not coming out.

Base form contrast

• でます (demasu): comes out.
• でません (demasen): does not come out.

Practical note

This is the headline of the problem. After saying it, you can add the place: キッチンです (kicchin desu) or おふろです (ofuro desu).
