What to Say in Such Situations? ~A Comparison Between Japanese, English, and Chinese~
People occasionally experience poor physical condition. Fatigue, headaches, and bodily discomfort are realities we face in our daily lives. However, the way these symptoms are expressed can vary greatly depending on the culture. In Japanese, English, and Chinese, words and expressions for describing poor physical condition each have their own unique aesthetics and backgrounds. In this article, I would like to compare and express the expressions of poor physical condition in these languages.
Even if you learn words for poor physical condition in advance, it might be helpful to use them by pointing when you feel unwell while traveling abroad. I hope this information will be useful to you in some way.
