Edit

There are two answers:
1. Fill the 3 liter, and pour into the 5. Fill the 3 liter again, and pour into the 5 liter till it is full, this will give you 1 left in the 3 liter. Pour out the 5 liter, and pour the remainder from the 3 liter into the 5 liter. Fill the 3 liter, and pour into the 5 liter, which will give you 1+3 liters (4).

2. Fill the 5 liter, and pour into the 3 liter till it is full. Empty the 3 liter. Take the 2 remaining liters in the 5 liter, and pour into the 3 liter. Fill the 5 liter again, and pour into the 3 liter till it is full (1 liter), the remainder of the 5 liter will be 4 liters.

Word "YOU" is having letters "Y" & "O" and it requires letter "J" to make "JOY". So the answer is "J".
