Significado
To experience pain in the abdomen.
Contexto cultural
French people often use 'tisane' (herbal tea) as the first remedy for a stomach ache. In Quebec, you might hear 'avoir mal à l'estomac' more frequently for general pain. In some regions, 'ventre' is used to refer to the entire digestive system, including the intestines. Similar to France, but 'avoir des coliques' is sometimes used more casually.
Don't overthink it
It's just like saying 'I have a headache' (J'ai mal à la tête). The pattern is the same!
