Questions & Answers about watashi wa komame ni mizu o nomu you ni shite imasu.

What does こまめに really mean here? Is it just “often”?

こまめに is usually translated as “frequently,” “regularly,” or “diligently (at short intervals)”.

Nuance:

• よく = often, many times (frequency in general)
• たくさん = a lot (amount/quantity)
• しょっちゅう = constantly, all the time (can sound like “too often”)
• こまめに = at small, regular intervals, with some care/attention

So in this sentence, こまめに suggests:

• not chugging a lot at once,
• but taking care to drink small amounts of water regularly throughout the day.

It has a slightly “health-conscious / careful” nuance rather than just “often.”
