Sure! "Tap water" is water that comes straight out of the faucet. When you turn on the faucet and fill up a cup of water, that is tap water. "Fizzy water" is also known as carbonated water or seltzer water. It's water that has bubbles in it, similar to soda. "Sparkling water" is the same as "fizzy water." "Mineral water" is water that has additives in it (minerals). "Still water" is regular water that doesn't have carbonation in it, such as bottled water, tap water, or mineral water.
