Sando 咏木兰 Posted November 1, 2009 at 07:13 PM Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 at 07:13 PM Hi all~~ I'm a newbie here and hope I am posting in the right category! I could use a quick translation of this phrase "I have a sore tummy" in mandarin pinyin and characters. Could a native speaker help, please? xie xie!

Daan Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:33 AM Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:33 AM Ehh...are you sure? ;) I would say 我肚子有點痛 (wǒ dùzi yóu diǎn tóng) but then I am not a native speaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buanryoh Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:37 AM Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:37 AM Sorry poor joke I know, OP ignore my post I was just having some fun. Maybe you can compare my answer with Daan's - you might just remember them for a bit longer now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:39 AM Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:39 AM I thought it was pretty funny actually, but I'm not sure the OP would have gotten it, especially since he's new here ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:46 AM Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:46 AM If Sando is a newbie in Chinese as well, this may be even easier to remember: "I have a sore tummy" = 我肚子疼! (Wǒ dùzi téng!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavel0622 Posted November 2, 2009 at 09:26 AM Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 09:26 AM I'm a Chinese. Maybe it's can be translated into"我肚子有点不舒服". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted November 2, 2009 at 01:21 PM Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 01:21 PM I am curious, OP, do you really enjoy the Ode of Mulan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natra Posted November 2, 2009 at 07:17 PM Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 07:17 PM I agree with Pavel. Or just: 我的肚子不舒服。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sando 咏木兰 Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:55 PM Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 08:55 PM @HashiriKata: Thanks for your reply! Would it too much asking what 我肚子疼 (Wǒ dùzi téng) means literally? Thanks a mil and to everybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted November 2, 2009 at 10:28 PM Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 10:28 PM Would it too much asking what 我肚子疼 (Wǒ dùzi téng) means literally? Not at all, it'll be a pleasure to be able to help you 我 = I or me; 肚子 = tummy or stomach; 我肚子 = my tummy; 疼 = ache, sore or hurt. So now you've got: my tummy (我肚子) + hurts (疼) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcdefg Posted November 2, 2009 at 11:16 PM Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 at 11:16 PM I could use a quick translation of this phrase "I have a sore tummy" in mandarin pinyin and characters. If you'd like to be proactive, you could learn 拉肚子 at this point as well. 拉肚子 = lā dùzi = diarrhea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sando 咏木兰 Posted November 3, 2009 at 12:03 AM Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 at 12:03 AM Thanks again, everyone. @buanyoh, I'm not sure what the joke was but bet it was a good one! @Skylee, my Chinese friends gave me the name. WHY is a long story but yes, I do like it (a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted November 3, 2009 at 10:37 AM Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 at 10:37 AM I feel like that boring person who spoils the joke by explaining it, but since this is your thread, I think you deserve to know 我怀孕了，可是孩子不是你的 I got pregnant, but the kid's not yours ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
