I am little confuse in sentence 5. Pl. help and do clear.
I think “pani pilana” & “pani dena”, these are two different thing. According to @Lav, usako pani de do. Is it right?

yes, i too, don’t feel it good. But saying the below sentence will not be good as well.
“Make him/her take water.”
Let some other member try it.

“Give him/her some water (to drink)” is good enough for that purpose, and is commonly used.

Or, you can also use “Feed him/her some water”.

@pi
I think “feed him/her some water” is better way to say in this context. Thank you very much.

I thought “feeding” to be okay, but I didn’t know if it could be used for water/liquids as well.

Yes. Totally. You might have heard doctors use the word “feeding” for feeding milk to babies (by their mothers) all the time - Liquid! Same goes for water and it’s in common use as far as I know.
