@sutehk ありがとうございます!でも、え?!使われてないんですか?日本語で胃潰瘍(イカイヨウ)よく使いますよ。私は胃潰瘍になりました、って英語で言いたかったんです。
- English (US)
使う人は使いますが、ただ日常会話ではあまり使われていないと思います。もちろん、医者に胃潰瘍があるなどと言われて、それを一般的な人に伝えたい場合は「I have a stomach ulcer」を言ってもいいんです。ただお腹が痛いけど、胃潰瘍があるかどうか知らないうちは「Stomach ulcer」は言いません。

@sutehk Thanks! I see. I guess it's one of a culture differences! 仕事で忙しくてストレスあると「胃潰瘍になる」とか冗談としてけっこう使います。

やはり、異文化ですね。アメリカではそういう冗談を聞いたことはありません(笑)

@sutehk ちなみに「ストレスでハゲる」も伝統的なJapanese冗談です。
