How do you say “My stomach hurts.” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
My stomach hurts.
おなか痛い。
onaka itai
“おなか (onaka)” means “stomach” and “痛い (itai)” means “hurt”.
おなか
stomach
＋
痛い

We do not usually say “わたしの (watashino) = my” in everyday conversation.
If you want to speak politely, you can say like this :
おなかが痛いです。
onakaga itaidesu
(casual)
おなか痛い。
(polite)
おなかが痛いです。
