下痢をする در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 下痢をする (geri o suru) means 'to have diarrhea' in Japanese.
- It is a direct, medical term consisting of a noun and the verb 'suru'.
- While accurate, it is often replaced by euphemisms like 'onaka o kowasu' in polite conversation.
- Commonly used in clinics, pharmacies, and between close family members.
The Japanese expression 下痢をする (geri o suru) is the standard way to describe the medical condition of having diarrhea. It is a compound verb consisting of the noun geri (下痢), which literally translates to 'downward discharge,' and the light verb suru (to do/to perform). While the word is medically accurate and widely understood, it is important to note that in Japanese culture, directness regarding bodily functions is often tempered by social context. This term is most frequently used in medical settings, within the family, or when speaking to close friends about one's health status. In more formal or public situations, Japanese speakers often prefer euphemisms to avoid being overly graphic.
- Medical Context
- In a clinic or hospital, a doctor will ask, 'いつから下痢をしていますか？' (Since when have you had diarrhea?). It is the standard clinical term.
食べ過ぎて、昨夜から下痢をしています。 (I ate too much and have had diarrhea since last night.)
The word 'geri' is composed of two kanji: 下 (under/down) and 痢 (diarrhea/dysentery). The second kanji, 痢, contains the 'sickness' radical (疒), indicating it is a medical condition. Because the term is quite direct, using it during a business meeting or a formal dinner might be considered slightly too detailed. Instead, phrases like 'お腹の調子が悪い' (onaka no choushi ga warui - my stomach condition is bad) are preferred in polite company. However, if you are at a pharmacy (yakkyoku) looking for medicine, using '下痢' is the most efficient way to get the correct 'geridome' (antidiarrheal medication).
- Social Nuance
- Japanese people are generally private about health issues involving the digestive system. While 'geri o suru' is not a 'bad word,' it is a 'raw' word. Use it when clarity is more important than politeness.
旅行中に生水を飲んで下痢をした経験はありますか？ (Have you ever had the experience of getting diarrhea from drinking tap water while traveling?)
Understanding the verb 'suru' in this context is also vital. Unlike English, where 'to have' is used, Japanese uses 'to do' (suru). This implies the body is actively undergoing the process. You might also hear '下痢になる' (geri ni naru - to become diarrhea-stricken), which emphasizes the state change, but 'geri o suru' is the most common verbal form for the ongoing symptoms. In pediatric contexts, mothers might use the term 'geri-pipi' when talking to toddlers, which is a cute, reduplicated version of the word, though this is strictly for children.
- Common Causes
- In Japanese conversation, 'geri o suru' is often paired with causes like 'sumetai mono' (cold things), 'aburakkoimono' (greasy food), or 'sutoresu' (stress).
Using 下痢をする correctly involves understanding its conjugation as a Group 3 (Irregular) verb. Because it ends in suru, it follows the standard patterns: shimasu (polite), shita (past), shite iru (ongoing/state). When describing a current ailment, the progressive form 'shite iru' is most common because diarrhea is usually an ongoing condition rather than a momentary action.
- The 'Te-iru' Form
- When you tell a doctor your symptoms, you say '下痢をしています' (I am having diarrhea). This emphasizes the current state of your health.
三日前からずっと下痢をしています。 (I have been having diarrhea for three days straight.)
You can also use the past tense 'shita' to describe a finished episode. This is common when explaining why you were absent from work or school. For example, '昨日は下痢をして休みました' (Yesterday I had diarrhea and took the day off). Note that the particle 'o' is often dropped in casual speech, resulting in 'geri shita'. However, in writing and polite speech, the 'o' should be retained to maintain grammatical clarity. Another common pattern is combining it with 'shimau' to express regret or the involuntary nature of the condition: '下痢をしてしまった' (I ended up getting diarrhea).
- Combining with Adverbs
- You can modify the severity using adverbs like 'hidoi' (terrible) or 'hidosuku' (terribly). 'ひどい下痢をしています' means 'I have terrible diarrhea.'
辛いものを食べると、すぐに下痢をする体質です。 (I have a physical constitution where I immediately get diarrhea if I eat spicy food.)
In a question format, you might ask someone about their symptoms or about the side effects of a medication. 'この薬を飲むと、下痢をすることがありますか？' (Is there a chance of having diarrhea if I take this medicine?). Here, 'koto ga aru' (there are times when...) is used to describe potential occurrences. This is a very useful pattern for medical discussions. Additionally, the phrase can be used in the negative: '下痢はしていません' (I am not having diarrhea), which is a common response during a medical checkup when the doctor is ruling out symptoms.
- Causative and Passive
- While rare, you might see '下痢をさせる' (to cause someone to have diarrhea), usually in the context of food or bacteria. 'その細菌は激しい下痢をさせる' (That bacteria causes severe diarrhea).
You will encounter 下痢をする in several specific environments in Japan. The most common is the naika (internal medicine clinic). When you fill out a monshinhyou (medical interview sheet), there is almost always a checkbox for '下痢' (diarrhea). If you check it, the nurse or doctor will inevitably follow up with 'いつから下痢をしていますか？' (Since when have you been having diarrhea?). This is the clinical standard, and there is no need to feel embarrassed using the term in this professional context.
- Drugstores and Pharmacies
- When looking for over-the-counter medicine, you will see signs for '下痢止め' (antidiarrheals). If you ask a pharmacist for advice, saying '下痢をして困っています' (I'm having trouble with diarrhea) is perfectly appropriate.
「下痢をしたら、水分補給を忘れないでくださいね」と薬剤師が言った。 (The pharmacist said, "If you have diarrhea, please don't forget to hydrate.")
Another place you will hear this word is in television commercials for stomach medicine. Japan has a high consumption of 'icho-yaku' (stomach and intestinal medicine) due to the stressful work culture and the prevalence of social drinking (nomikai). Commercials often feature a salaryman clutching his stomach with the narrator mentioning '突然の下痢に' (for sudden diarrhea). In these ads, the word is used to clearly identify the problem the product solves. You might also hear it in news reports concerning 'shokuchuudoku' (food poisoning) outbreaks, where the reporter lists 'geri' as one of the primary symptoms observed in the victims.
- Health Education
- In schools, children are taught about hygiene and the importance of washing hands to avoid 'geri' and 'outo' (vomiting). It is a standard part of the health curriculum.
ノロウイルスにかかると、激しく下痢をすることがあります。 (When you catch Norovirus, you may have severe diarrhea.)
In casual conversation between close friends or family members, the word is used quite freely. A mother might say to her child, '冷たいものばかり食べていると下痢をするわよ' (If you keep eating only cold things, you'll get diarrhea). However, as a learner, you should be cautious. If you are at work and need to explain your absence, it is often more 'otona' (adult/mature) to say 'お腹の具合が悪くて' (onaka no guai ga warukute - my stomach condition is bad) rather than explicitly stating 'geri o shite imashita'. The latter is a bit too much information for a professional setting unless specifically asked for details.
- Travel Situations
- Travel insurance documents and health advisories for international travel often use this term to warn about 'traveler's diarrhea' (ryokousha geri).
One of the most frequent mistakes learners make with 下痢をする is overusing it in inappropriate social contexts. In English, saying 'I have diarrhea' is somewhat blunt but often necessary. In Japanese, the culture of 'enryo' (reserve) and 'sasshi' (reading the air) means that people avoid being too specific about bodily functions. Using 'geri o suru' to a casual acquaintance or a boss can make the listener feel uncomfortable. The mistake isn't grammatical; it's a mistake of 'register' and social distance.
- Mistake 1: Using 'suru' vs 'naru'
- While 'geri ni naru' is grammatically correct (to become diarrhea-stricken), 'geri o suru' is the more natural way to describe the actual symptom. Using 'naru' exclusively can sound a bit like you are describing a permanent change of state rather than a temporary ailment.
❌ 私は下痢です。 (I am diarrhea.)
✅ 私は下痢をしています。 (I have/am having diarrhea.)
Another common error is treating 'geri' as an adjective. You cannot say 'geri na hito' to mean a person who has diarrhea. You must use the verb form or a possessive: '下痢をしている人' (geri o shite iru hito). Additionally, many students confuse 'geri' with 'fukutsuu' (stomach ache). While they often happen together, 'fukutsuu' is just the pain, whereas 'geri' is the specific digestive issue. If you only have a stomach ache without the other symptom, don't use 'geri o suru'.
- Mistake 2: Forgetting the Particle
- In formal writing, omitting the 'o' (下痢する) is a mistake. While common in speech, keeping the 'o' makes your Japanese sound more polished and educated.
❌ 下痢がある。 (There is diarrhea - used like English 'I have'.)
✅ 下痢をする。 (To do diarrhea.)
Learners also sometimes struggle with the causative form. If you want to say 'The milk gave me diarrhea,' you shouldn't say 'Miruku ga geri o shita'. That would mean the milk itself had diarrhea! Instead, use 'Miruku de geri o shita' (I had diarrhea because of the milk) or 'Miruku ga geri o hikio-okoshita' (The milk caused diarrhea). Understanding that 'suru' refers to the person's body performing the action is key to avoiding these logical errors.
- Mistake 3: Pronunciation
- Mixing up 'geri' with 'giri' (obligation/duty). Saying 'Giri o shite imasu' sounds like you are performing a duty, which is a very different conversation!
While 下痢をする is the direct term, Japanese has a variety of ways to describe digestive issues depending on the severity and the social situation. The most common alternative is お腹を下す (onaka o kudasu). This literally means 'to let the stomach down' and is slightly more polite and idiomatic than 'geri o suru'. It is frequently used in daily conversation and is safe for most social settings.
- お腹を下す (Onaka o kudasu)
- This is the go-to phrase for 'to have a loose stomach.' It sounds less medical and more natural than 'geri o suru'. Example: '牛乳を飲むとお腹を下します' (I get a loose stomach when I drink milk).
昨日はちょっとお腹を下してしまいました。 (Yesterday I had a bit of a loose stomach.)
Another common expression is お腹を壊す (onaka o kowasu), which literally means 'to break one's stomach'. This is a broad term that covers everything from a simple stomach ache to full-blown diarrhea. It is the most 'safe' and polite way to mention you are feeling unwell without giving too much detail. If you tell your boss 'お腹を壊しました' (I broke my stomach), they will understand you have digestive issues without you having to say the word 'geri'.
- お腹がゆるい (Onaka ga yurui)
- Literally 'stomach is loose.' This is often used to describe a chronic condition or a mild case. People who have a sensitive stomach often say '私はお腹がゆるい方です' (I'm the type who has a loose stomach).
最近、ずっとお腹がゆるくて困っています。 (Lately, I've been troubled because my stomach has been loose.)
For more medical or severe conditions, you might hear 水様便 (suiyouben), which means 'watery stool'. This is strictly clinical. On the other end of the spectrum, 軟便 (nanben) means 'soft stool' and is used to describe a milder form of diarrhea. Comparing these: 'geri' is the general term, 'onaka o kudasu' is the polite idiomatic term, and 'onaka o kowasu' is the vague, safe term. Choosing the right one depends entirely on who you are talking to and how much detail you want to provide.
- Comparison Table
-
- 下痢をする: Direct, medical, raw. Use with doctors/family.
- お腹を下す: Natural, idiomatic. Best for friends/coworkers.
- お腹を壊す: Vague, polite. Best for bosses/formal situations.
- お腹がゆるい: Describes a state or tendency.
چقدر رسمی است؟
نکته جالب
The kanji '痢' is interesting because it contains the 'sickness' radical (疒) on the outside and the character for 'profit/benefit' (利) on the inside. However, in this case, '利' is used phonetically and to imply 'smooth passage'—though in a negative, diseased way.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing 'geri' like 'Gary' (the name). It should be 'ge-ri'.
- Pronouncing 'geri' like 'giri' (duty). 'Giri' has an 'i' sound in the first syllable.
- Over-emphasizing the 'u' in 'suru'.
- Failing to use the flap 'r' for the 'ri' syllable.
- Stress on the wrong syllable; keep 'ge' high and 'ri' low.
سطح دشواری
The kanji for 'geri' (下痢) is somewhat complex but very common in daily life.
Writing '痢' from memory can be tricky due to the number of strokes.
The pronunciation is simple, but knowing when NOT to say it is the hard part.

نکات
Medical Accuracy
Always use 'geri o shite imasu' when talking to a doctor. It is the most precise way to describe the symptom without any ambiguity.
Social Sensitivity
Avoid saying 'geri' in public or during meals. Use euphemisms like 'onaka no choushi ga warui' to be more polite and less graphic.
Particle Choice
While 'o' is often dropped in speech ('geri suru'), keeping it makes you sound more articulate and is required in formal writing.
Cold Water Myth
In Japan, many people believe drinking ice-cold water causes diarrhea. If you have a stomach ache, you might be asked if you 'cooled your stomach'.
Finding Medicine
Look for the kanji '下痢止め' on medicine boxes. It's often in the 'Icho-yaku' (stomach medicine) section of the drugstore.
Geri vs. Fukutsuu
Remember that 'geri' is the bowel movement, while 'fukutsuu' is the pain. You can have both, but they are different words.
Talking to Kids
If you have kids in Japan, you'll hear 'pipi' or 'geri-pipi'. It's okay to use this with children to make the topic less scary.
Casual Speech
With very close friends, 'onaka kudashichatta' is the most natural way to complain about a bad night after spicy food.
Travel Tip
When traveling, if you want to ask if the water is safe, you can ask 'Kore o nondara geri o shimasu ka?' (If I drink this, will I get diarrhea?).
Excuse Me
If you need to rush to the bathroom, just say 'Chotto shitsurei shimasu' (Excuse me for a moment). You don't need to explain why!

ریشه کلمه
The word '下痢' (geri) originates from classical Chinese medical terminology. The first kanji '下' (ka/ge) means 'down' or 'to descend'. The second kanji '痢' (ri) is a specific character used for diseases involving discharge from the bowels, such as dysentery or diarrhea.
معنای اصلی: The original meaning was literally 'downward discharge sickness'.
Sino-Japanese (Kango).بافت فرهنگی
Avoid using '下痢' at the dinner table or in formal introductions. It is strictly for medical or intimate conversations.
In English, 'I have diarrhea' is a bit awkward but common. In Japanese, it's even more sensitive; people almost always say 'I'm sick' or 'My stomach is bad' first.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالIt's a bit too direct. If you need to tell your boss you're sick, it's better to say 'お腹の具合が悪くて' (onaka no guai ga warukute) or '体調を崩しまして' (taichou o kuzushimashite). These phrases are more professional and avoid graphic details.
'Geri o suru' focuses on the ongoing action or symptom of having diarrhea. 'Geri ni naru' focuses on the change in state (becoming sick with diarrhea). In most medical situations, 'shite imasu' (the progressive form of suru) is the most natural.
Go to a pharmacy and say '下痢止めの薬をください' (Geri-dome no kusuri o kudasai). You can also just say '下痢止め' (Geri-dome) and the pharmacist will understand.
No, you cannot say 'geri na hito'. You should say '下痢をしている人' (geri o shite iru hito) to mean 'a person who has diarrhea'.
Seirogan (正露丸) is a very famous over-the-counter medicine in Japan used to treat diarrhea. It has a very strong, distinct smell and has been used for over a century.

The most common recommendation is 'okayu' (rice porridge). It's gentle on the stomach. You can say '下痢なので、おかゆを食べます' (I'm eating porridge because I have diarrhea).

Summary
下痢をする is the essential verb for 'having diarrhea'. Use it at the doctor's office or pharmacy, but switch to 'onaka o kowasu' (I broke my stomach) when talking to your boss or in formal social settings to be more polite. Example: 昨日は下痢をして休みました (I had diarrhea and took yesterday off).
- 下痢をする (geri o suru) means 'to have diarrhea' in Japanese.
- It is a direct, medical term consisting of a noun and the verb 'suru'.
- While accurate, it is often replaced by euphemisms like 'onaka o kowasu' in polite conversation.
- Commonly used in clinics, pharmacies, and between close family members.
Medical Accuracy
Always use 'geri o shite imasu' when talking to a doctor. It is the most precise way to describe the symptom without any ambiguity.
Social Sensitivity
Avoid saying 'geri' in public or during meals. Use euphemisms like 'onaka no choushi ga warui' to be more polite and less graphic.
Particle Choice
While 'o' is often dropped in speech ('geri suru'), keeping it makes you sound more articulate and is required in formal writing.
Cold Water Myth
In Japan, many people believe drinking ice-cold water causes diarrhea. If you have a stomach ache, you might be asked if you 'cooled your stomach'.
