19 mins confidence:  give water!;
Explanation:
'Api do' is usually spoken as a respect to an adult or someone with reverence; or to a child.
or may be used in context of telling somone sternely or in an orderly manner.
'Pani' is water.
'Api' means 'give' sounds like 'a' in africa 'pi' as in 'pin'
'do' here may be used as 'give me' or 'give to some one' without using the "addressing" words like 'manne' (me) or 'amney' (them), 'aney' (he/her) or a name.
'do' sounds like 'do' in the word dollar.
