In a sentence

みずwaterのむ飲むdrink

Want to drink water?

How it works

(object) marks みず (water) as the thing being drunk, sitting right before the verb 飲むのむ (drink). The verb stays in its plain dictionary form — no polite ます (polite) — so this is casual. There's no question word (question); the (?) alone signals a rising tone, the easy “drink some water?” you'd say to a friend.
