Depends on what the subject matter is. I've never been to China, so most of what I know is from a classroom setting... I know how to ask to visit the restroom, for example, but I wouldn't know how to say that I'm bursting for a pee! Quote Link to comment

By the way how many hours have you been holding?🤗 I actually just went to the bathroom... I'd only been holding it for a few hours, but I had soup for breakfast, so I couldn't hold it any longer! How about, "My bladder is bursting! I'm desperate! May I pee?" 😄 (We learned the words for "bathroom" in class, but never anatomy, and never how to describe how badly we had to go.)

hahaeggy 416 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 I think it suppose be: “我憋不住了!我马……马上要尿出来了!我能去厕所/卫生间吗?” The literal mean of these sentence is ” I can't hold it anymore! My pee is go.....gonna coming out super fast! May I go to toilet?” It seems different than the sentences that you gave me, however this is the native expression we use when we are desperate. Annnnnd, did you wet your pants/panties in bathroom?😜 Quote Link to comment

Annnnnd, did you wet your pants/panties in bathroom?😜 Thank you so much!!! I didn't wet my pants in the bathroom, but it was a close call! Last night, I was really desperate and leaked more than I ever had before... thankfully, there was no line in my dormitory bathroom, so I didn't have to wait very long to relieve myself! How would you say, I've been holding my pee for a really long time ? That was a phrase I definitely could've used in class, when my teacher wouldn't let us leave the room! Quote Link to comment

I learned simplified in school, but I’m now studying Japanese, which means that a lot of the characters I have to memorize look like traditional Chinese ones. 😊 Quote Link to comment

That means...😉 I really, really hope that I didn't break the rules by registering a couple years early... I made absolutely sure not to post, comment, or interact with anyone until I turned 20. I didn't even change my profile picture till last week, lol. Never took advantage of any of the site's features... I barely dared to visit until I was 18. I didn't have the guts to read anybody else's posts or look at pictures or videos, either... I was a pretty repressed 16-year-old. I just wanted to read the advice sections to make sure I wasn't the only person who enjoyed holding my pee straight through school. I thought I was weird and gross... hopefully I'm not in trouble now, haha. Edit: I'm really not comfortable talking about my teenage years in this context. can we not do this?

I've never wet myself... not since I was potty training, anyway!. Again, I'm generally repressed in nature, and am very nervous about breaking rules and such. Someday, I might do it on purpose... but not yet 🙂 Quote Link to comment
