I have a cold.

Hi everybody,

Recently (最近), many students have been under the weather (体調が悪い). With the temperatures dropping, it's easy to catch a cold (風邪を引く), so please take care. If you do get sick, however, try using the sentence pattern "I have a 〜" to express yourself clearly (明確に表現する). Here are some examples:
  • I have a cold. (風邪をひいている)
  • I have a sore throat. (喉が痛い)
  • I have a stuffed-up nose. (鼻が詰まっている)
  • I have a running/runny nose. (鼻水が出ている)
  • I have a fever. (熱がある)
Cheers,

Alan

P.S. Of course, sometimes people are under the weather because they drank too much (飲み過ぎた) the night before. In this case (この場合), feel free to say I have a hangover (二日酔いです).
