nausée 30秒で

  • Nausée means nausea, a sick feeling in the stomach.
  • It's often accompanied by the urge to vomit.
  • Commonly used for motion sickness, pregnancy, or after eating bad food.
  • You can say 'J'ai la nausée' to express this feeling.
The French word nausée, pronounced roughly as 'no-zay', is a feminine noun that refers to the unpleasant sensation of feeling sick to your stomach, often with the urge to vomit. It's a common physical discomfort that can arise from various causes, such as motion sickness, food poisoning, pregnancy, anxiety, or certain medical conditions. When you feel nausée, it means your stomach is unsettled and you might feel like you're going to throw up, even if you don't actually do so. It's a feeling of queasiness or sickness in the stomach. People use this word to describe a specific physical symptom. For instance, if someone has been on a boat trip and feels unwell, they might say they have nausée. Similarly, if someone has eaten something that didn't agree with them, they might experience nausée. It's a direct and common way to express this particular feeling of sickness. The word is derived from the Latin word 'nausea', which also means sickness or seasickness, highlighting its long-standing recognition as a physical ailment. Understanding nausée is crucial for describing physical discomforts in French, and it's a word you'll frequently encounter in everyday conversations and medical contexts. It's important to note that while it often implies an urge to vomit, nausée itself is the feeling of sickness, not the act of vomiting. The intensity can vary from a mild queasiness to a severe, persistent feeling of being unwell.
English Equivalent
Nausea, sickness, queasiness.
Grammatical Gender
Feminine (la nausée)
Common Causes
Motion sickness, food poisoning, pregnancy (morning sickness), anxiety, medication side effects, strong smells.

Je ressens une forte nausée depuis ce matin.

I have been feeling strong nausea since this morning.

Le mouvement du bateau m'a donné la nausée.

The movement of the boat made me feel nauseous.
Mastering nausée involves understanding its common grammatical constructions and the contexts in which it appears. As a feminine noun, it is often preceded by articles like 'la' (the) or 'une' (a), or possessive adjectives like 'ma' (my) or 'sa' (his/her). A very common way to express having this feeling is to use the verb 'avoir' (to have) followed by 'la nausée'. For example, 'J'ai la nausée' directly translates to 'I have nausea' or 'I feel nauseous'. This is perhaps the most frequent and natural way to express the sensation. Another construction involves using the verb 'ressentir' (to feel) with 'une nausée', as in 'Je ressens une nausée'. This is slightly more formal but equally correct. You might also hear 'être sujet à la nausée' (to be prone to nausea), which describes a general tendency. When describing the cause, prepositions like 'de' (of/from) or 'à cause de' (because of) are used. For instance, 'Le mal de mer m'a donné la nausée' (Seasickness gave me nausea). The word 'nausée' can also be used in a more abstract sense, though this is less common at the A2 level. For example, in literature, it might describe a feeling of revulsion or disgust, but for everyday communication, focus on its physical meaning. The adjective form related to nausea is 'nauséeux' (masculine) or 'nauséeuse' (feminine), meaning 'nauseous' or 'queasy'. So, you could say 'Je me sens nauséeuse' (I feel nauseous). Understanding these patterns will allow you to correctly incorporate nausée into your French vocabulary. Pay attention to the articles and prepositions used with it, as they are key to forming grammatically sound sentences.
Common Verb Constructions
Avoir la nausée (to have nausea): J'ai la nausée. Tu as la nausée. Il/Elle a la nausée.
Ressentir une nausée (to feel nausea): Je ressens une nausée. Nous ressentons une nausée.
Être sujet à la nausée (to be prone to nausea): Elle est souvent sujette à la nausée.
Using Adjectives
Nauséeux/Nauséeuse (nauseous): Je me sens nauséeux. Elle a l'air nauséeuse.

Après avoir mangé ce plat, j'ai eu la nausée.

After eating this dish, I felt nauseous.

Le médicament provoque des nausées chez certains patients.

The medication causes nausea in some patients.
You'll encounter the word nausée in a variety of everyday situations and specific contexts in French. The most common place is in casual conversations when people describe feeling unwell. For instance, if you're traveling by car, bus, or boat, and someone starts to feel sick due to motion, they might say, 'Je crois que je vais avoir la nausée' (I think I'm going to feel nauseous). This is very typical. In a medical setting, doctors and nurses will use nausée frequently when asking about symptoms. A doctor might ask, 'Ressentez-vous des nausées?' (Are you experiencing nausea?), or a patient might report, 'J'ai des nausées depuis hier' (I've had nausea since yesterday). This is a standard term in medical consultations. Pregnancy is another context where nausée is commonly heard, especially in discussions about 'les nausées matinales' (morning sickness). Friends or family might inquire, 'Comment vont tes nausées?' (How is your nausea?). Beyond these, strong smells can also evoke nausée. Someone might react to a pungent odor by saying, 'Ça me donne la nausée!' (That makes me feel sick!). In some cases, particularly in more literary or dramatic contexts, nausée can be used metaphorically to describe a feeling of profound disgust or existential unease, famously explored by Jean-Paul Sartre in his novel 'La Nausée'. However, for A2 learners, the primary focus should be on the physical sensation. You'll also find nausée in written materials like health brochures, travel advice, and even in product descriptions for medications that treat this symptom. Listening to French podcasts about health or travel, or watching French films and series, will expose you to natural uses of this word.
Common Scenarios
Describing motion sickness during travel.
Discussing symptoms with a doctor or pharmacist.
Talking about pregnancy symptoms (morning sickness).
Reacting to unpleasant smells.

Le médecin m'a demandé si j'avais des nausées.

The doctor asked me if I had nausea.

Les nausées matinales sont courantes pendant la grossesse.

Morning sickness is common during pregnancy.
When learning the word nausée, English speakers might make a few common errors. One frequent mistake is confusing the noun 'nausée' with the adjective 'nauséeux/nauséeuse'. While related, they function differently. For example, saying 'Je suis nausée' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'J'ai la nausée' (I have nausea) or 'Je me sens nauséeux/nauséeuse' (I feel nauseous). Another potential pitfall is overusing 'nausée' in contexts where a more specific term might be used, or conversely, underusing it when it's the most appropriate word. For instance, if someone feels a general sense of being unwell, they might say 'Je ne me sens pas bien' (I don't feel well), which is broader. However, if the specific symptom is queasiness, 'nausée' is the precise term. A less common, but possible, error is mispronunciation. The 's' in 'nausée' is pronounced like a 'z' sound, similar to the 's' in 'pleasure' in English, so it sounds like 'no-zay'. Some learners might pronounce it with a hard 's' sound. Another subtle point is the pluralization. While 'nausée' can sometimes be used in the plural ('des nausées'), it's very common to refer to the sensation in the singular, even if it's experienced multiple times. For example, 'J'ai souvent la nausée' (I often feel nauseous) is more common than 'J'ai souvent des nausées'. When talking about the act of vomiting, remember that 'vomir' is the verb, and 'nausée' is the feeling that precedes it. Don't use 'nausée' to mean the act of throwing up. Finally, some learners might incorrectly assume that 'nausée' always implies an immediate urge to vomit. While it often does, it can also describe a persistent feeling of queasiness without the immediate need to throw up.
Mistake 1: Noun vs. Adjective Confusion
Incorrect: Je suis nausée.
Correct: J'ai la nausée. OR Je me sens nauséeux/nauséeuse.
Explanation: 'Nausée' is a noun. Use 'avoir la nausée' or the adjective 'nauséeux/nauséeuse' with 'se sentir'.
Mistake 2: Pronunciation
Incorrect: Pronouncing 'nausée' with a hard 's' sound.
Correct: Pronouncing it like 'no-zay' (with a 'z' sound for the 's').
Explanation: The 's' between vowels in French often sounds like a 'z'.

Incorrect usage: J'ai nauséeux.

Incorrect usage: I feel nauseous (literally: I have nauseous).
While nausée is the most direct and common term for nausea, there are related words and alternative expressions in French that convey similar or slightly different nuances. The adjective form, nauséeux/nauséeuse, meaning 'nauseous' or 'queasy', is a direct alternative when describing how someone feels. For example, instead of 'J'ai la nausée', you can say 'Je me sens nauséeux' (if you are male) or 'Je me sens nauséeuse' (if you are female). Another common phrase is 'avoir mal au cœur', which literally translates to 'to have a sickness in the heart' but is used to mean feeling sick to your stomach or queasy. It's a very common and slightly more colloquial alternative to 'avoir la nausée'. For instance, 'J'ai mal au cœur à cause du mouvement' (I feel sick to my stomach because of the movement) is perfectly understandable. In some contexts, especially when describing a general feeling of unease or being unwell, 'se sentir mal' (to feel unwell) can be used, but it's much broader than just nausea. If the feeling is specifically related to motion, 'le mal de mer' (seasickness) or 'le mal des transports' (motion sickness) are more specific terms, and these conditions often *cause* nausée. The verb 'dégoutter' (to disgust) can sometimes be used informally to describe something that makes you feel sick, but it's more about revulsion than a physical stomach ailment. For instance, 'Cette odeur me dégoute' (That smell disgusts me) could imply a feeling of nausea, but it's not the primary meaning. In formal medical contexts, 'vomissements' (vomiting) might be discussed alongside 'nausées', but they are distinct. 'Nausée' is the sensation, while 'vomissements' is the act. When choosing an alternative, consider the exact nuance you want to convey. 'Avoir mal au cœur' is a good, everyday substitute. 'Nauséeux/nauséeuse' is the descriptive adjective. For general unwellness, 'se sentir mal' is appropriate.
Nausée (Noun)
Meaning: Nausea, the feeling of sickness with an inclination to vomit.
Example: J'ai la nausée.
Nauséeux/Nauséeuse (Adjective)
Meaning: Nauseous, queasy.
Example: Je me sens nauséeuse.
Avoir mal au cœur (Phrase)
Meaning: To feel sick to your stomach, to feel queasy (colloquial).
Example: J'ai mal au cœur après le voyage.
Se sentir mal (Phrase)
Meaning: To feel unwell (general).
Example: Je me sens mal aujourd'hui.

Elle a mal au cœur à cause de l'odeur.

よくある間違い
  • Confusing 'nausée' (noun) with 'nauséeux/nauséeuse' (adjective). → J'ai la nausée. / Je me sens nauséeux/nauséeuse.

    Learners might incorrectly say 'Je suis nausée'. Remember that 'nausée' is the feeling (nausea), and 'nauséeux/nauséeuse' describes the person experiencing it (nauseous). Use 'avoir la nausée' or 'se sentir nauséeux/nauséeuse'.

  • Pronouncing the 's' in 'nausée' as a hard 's' sound. → Pronounce it like 'no-zay'.

    In French, the 's' between two vowels often sounds like a 'z'. This is a common pronunciation rule to remember for words like 'nausée', 'maison', 'poisson', etc.

  • Using 'nausée' to mean the act of vomiting. → Use 'vomir' for the act of vomiting.

    'Nausée' is the sensation of sickness and the urge to vomit. 'Vomir' is the physical act of throwing up. They are related but distinct.

  • Overusing 'nausée' when a more general term is needed. → Use 'se sentir mal' for general unwellness.

    While 'nausée' is specific to feeling sick to your stomach, 'se sentir mal' means 'to feel unwell' and can cover a broader range of symptoms. Use 'nausée' when the specific symptom is queasiness.

  • Forgetting the gender of 'nausée' (feminine). → la nausée, une nausée.

    As a feminine noun, 'nausée' requires feminine articles like 'la' or 'une'. This is crucial for correct sentence formation.

ヒント
